Simply the Best 

she was 

because 

What's Love Got to Do With it 

when you're 

Rolling on the River 

like an angel 

in Great Spirits

and 

What You Get is What You See

and plus,

We Don't Need Another Hero 

and for sure you'll be

Falling Like Rain

when you're up in Heaven

singing away

Addicted to Love!

- RIP Tina Turner!
