Simply the Best
A poem about Tina Turner - RIP
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!

Such a beautiful singer. RIP.
Beautiful to read. The songs are classics.
Wonderful tribute. Love all of her songs.
A clever idea for a tribute; sharing the titles of her songs to remember her by.
Excellent tribute ... thank you!
