In this pair of special hours from producer Paul Ingles, listeners will hear a mix of tracks from over 50 years of recording and performing by Tina Turner - first in the Ike and Tina Turner Revue, then as a solo artist starting in the middle 1970's. Music writers and educators Holly Gleason, Anthony DeCurtis, Birgitta Johnson, Gwen Thompkins, Greg Kot, and Aaron Cohen pitch in commentary and suggestions of their favorite Tina songs. 33 of her performances are included. There's a first hour that can run on its own and an optional second hour that can be run back to back with the first, or at a later date, or not run at all. Hour 2 is mentioned as a bonus hour available online in the first program. It is however, an equally compelling presentation so we'd recommend it for your audience as well. An evergreen pair perfect for upcoming summer holidays, of the next Black History Month, or June African-American Music Appreciation Month. Hide full description
