Such sad news has broken this evening about the sad passing of the legend that is Tina Turner! Her music has enthralled fans around the world since the 60s with a string of absolute classics, such as River Deep Mountain High, Nutbush City Limits, Proud Mary, What's Love Got To Do With It, Goldeneye, Private Dancer, Simply the Best and many many more! I interviewed Tina's former musical director last year, Alan Clarke from the band Dire Straits. In this short clip, Alan pays tribute to Tina Turner, talking about what she is like as a person, what she was like to work with and he shares a wonderful story from their time in Memphis.

Rest in peace Anna Mae Bullock, the Queen of Rock & Roll!
