Just a couple of highlights from this week in music history!

Tina Turner

MAY 24: Very sad news today, the legendary Tina Turner has passed away at age 83. What can be said about this extraordinary talent - singer, actress, and survivor. Not many artists can make a comeback in their 40s, but Tina did just that with “What’s Love Got to Do With It”. RIP
