Tina Turner definitely earned her title as the "Queen of Rock and Roll." Longtime writer/editor Sheldon Zoldan wrote this tribute to Turner, who died on May 24 last year. This is one of 44 short yet illuminating episodes about significant figures in the music industry who passed away in 2023.
Sheldon also writes Song of the Day, a music-related story sent daily to an email list of subscribers. All of those stories and these tributes include links to the featured songs. Here, you can listen to "Nutbush City Limits" on YouTube. It's worth scrolling through the comments below the video. Whether they're in English or another language, the commentators express their love and appreciation for Turner. Very sweet.
The first photo in the Chapters is by an uncredited photographer who took the shot of Turner performing at Tulane Stadium, New Orleans, in October 1970. The other two photos show covers of her books.

Audio engineer Mike Villegas (who’s also a musician) and I are publishing all 44 tributes in the coming weeks. Hope you enjoy them.
