CNN: Music Legend Tina Turner Dies at 83

‘Simply the best’

EXCERPT:

ELAM: "The word 'icon' may get used a lot. It is not overused when he talk about Tina Turner, we talk about that voice. As soon as you heard a few notes, you knew it was Tina Turner. Those dance moves, those legs, and most importantly, the way she protected herself. You knew her story, but she also continued to live in her happiness and her joy as she broke barriers for women, for female performers, for also black artists, as well as saying she would not be siloed. If you take a look now here in Hollywood, you can see that people are out there giving her her flowers, literally right now, on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, as people are remembering Tina Turner, who was beloved across so many boundaries for all of the barriers she broke down and all of the wonderful music and performances she left us with, Jake."
TAPPER: "Yeah. And also incredibly important, survivor of domestic violence. For others, a real inspiration that one can move beyond such trauma. Stephanie Elam, thank you so much for that powerful report."
