The world lost a true icon in May 2023 when Tina Turner, born Anna Mae Bullock, passed away at age 83. An incredible performer, a music legend, and an inspiration to many, Tina left an indelible mark on music, and in pop culture in general, over her seven-decade career. Now, as part of our Divas series, the Great Pop Culture Debate wants to look back at Tina's storied career and attempt to determine the Best Tina Turner single of all time.

Songs discussed: “Private Dancer,” “Shame, Shame, Shame,” “Typical Male,” “The Best,” “Better Be Good to Me,” “Disco Inferno,” “I Can’t Stand the Rain,” “We Don’t Need Another Hero,” “Proud Mary,” “GoldenEye,” “Nutbush City Limits (90s Version),” “I Don’t Wanna Fight,” “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” “Don’t Leave Me This Way,” “It’s Only Love,” “Let’s Stay Together.”

Join host Eric Rezsnyak, GPCD panelists Amma Marfo and Derek Mekita, and special guest panelist Mrs. Kasha Davis from “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 7 and “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” 8 as they discuss and debate 16 of Tina’s best tracks.
