Tina Turner - Harper's Bazaar - Magazine
Moves like a megaton, so libido ignites
Voice burns up the air, body gyrates in space
Tina's here singing her guts out for you

Tina Turn On is Tina Turner, convulsive, compulsive singing and dancing conveyor of the sex message, helping the world understand how energy became atomic. In an hour's performance, Tina uses up to at least 350 calories; offstage her energy demands almost as much. She is the original female powerhouse, emitting the most erotic scent of al--- that of mother earth. — Harper’s Bazaar magazine
