The world woke up to the news of the passing of legend and icon - Tina Turner.
Kids of the 80s remember Tina for her massive hit songs, massive hair, and massive personality. This was the era of "Private Dancer," "What's Love Gotta Do With It," and "Better Be Good To Me." But of course, her discography dates back earlier to that, with hits going back to the Ike and Tina era of the 60s and 70s.
Aside from being a great singer, Tina was also an equally great actress.
One of my favourite 80s memories was "Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome." We actually watched this on betamax (look it up, kids) because my siblings and I were all too young to watch it in cinemas.
Not only was she wonderful to watch as Auntie Entity, she also brought to life the film's theme song.
"We Don't Need Another Hero," captures the quality of Tina's voice perfectly. And as she's singing it while wearing her Mad Max costume, it just ups the cool quotient by 10000%.
She'll always be a hero.
