A song by an artist who inspired their own musical.
I have to go with one of my favorite singers because she’s utterly amazing. She survived a hard childhood and an unbearably hard marriage. All through that she managed to accumulate an impressive music catalog, especially before women — let along black women — were making rock music. I watched her biopic at our AMC theater on my birthday with my friend Rhonda and I fell more in love with Tina Turner.
The difference between the Broadway musical, Tina, and the film What’s Love Got to Do with It is that there’s less Ike and more of her later music.
Here’s my favorite song that came out after the film and made it into the musical — “Simply the Best.”
