I can't believe I am typing this. There are a few women in music that has impacted my life and I've taken on my journey and has helped me heal from certain situations. Tina Turner is #1, Chaka Khan is #2 and Jill Scott is #3.... I look at the similarities of Tina's life, being abandoned by her mother AND her father and being shipped south to be raised by her grandmother... I went thru the same thing, the abuse from men and dealing with the shadiness from record labels.. I could write a book on my journey... I digress, I have been looking at so many stories, videos and docu's about her life and you could tell she was tired of talking about Ike!!! She put it past her and healed through Buddhism. Her life is one to be admired and adorned... I hate I never met her but I feel her spirit.. Rest Well Tina, #SimplyTheBest
