Tina Turner, the Queen of Rock 'N' Roll, has died at the age of 83. The iconic singer died at her home in Küsnach near Zurich Switzerland today following a long, unspecified illness. Her representatives confirmed her death, saying: 'With her the world loses a music legend and role model.' She is survived by two of her four sons - two preceded her in death - and her husband, Erwin Bach. Born Anna-Mae Bullock in 1939 in Brownsville, Tennessee, to Zelma and Floyd Bullock, Turner overcame a turbulent childhood during which she was partly raised by her grandmother to become a musical sensation.

She could belt out a tune, and was good at it. Didn't need autotune.

I suspect there will be more well know singers of that era before the year is done. Their all getting up in age.

Tina was - Simply the Best

In her 70’s she could still out sing and out perform any of the over produced pandered to twinkies cluttering up the airwaves & tv’s today. 50 years from now, they won’t make the trivia pursuit deck, but we’ll still hear Proud Mary and Simply The Best.

she sure was.

While Keith Richards looks in in 90's, he's barely 80 yet.
