Today (November 26) is the inimitable Tina Turner’s 77th birthday; she was born in 1939 in Tennessee. Here’s a bit of her on Beat-Club in 1971 performing her classic arrangement of “Proud Mary.”
“You see, we never ever ever do nothing nice and easy. We always do it nice and rough. So we’re gonna take the beginning of this song and we’re gonna do it easy. But then we’re gonna do the finish rough. It’s the way we do ‘Proud Mary.’”
