Tina Turner (RIP) Top 5.

She sure played with some great musicians. Even John McGeoch on "Ball of Confusion".

1. Proud Mary
2. River Deep Mountain High
3. Ball of Confusion (w/ BEF)*
4. Funkier Than a Mosquita’s Tweeter
5. Nutbush City Limits

*Very underrated, here Tina is doing something in the general vicinity of post-punk or mutant disco

Special shout out to her two soundtrack contributions in Mad Max and James Bond. Not really "good" songs exactly, but I have a lot of affection them. I'm not exactly sure I've heard a Tina Turner song from the 60s or 70s that wasn't at least "pretty good"
