Both artists seemed to internalize the soul of their surroundings and transform it into something larger than life onstage.
For Presley, it was a vibrating croon and gyrating hips.
For Turner, it was fierce, unapologetic energy and a voice rich with feeling.
“Some of his favorites were Ike and Tina Turner…talented people deserving acknowledging in their craft.”
Two blazing stars in their own right, the musicians forged their respective careers while orbiting the same airspace.
“Tina Turner was one of Elvis' favorite performers,” she wrote in anInstagrampost.
“When she took the stage, it was pure magic.
I remember how she held an audience with an energy that was undeniably pure Tina!
She has left a remarkable legacy and will be sorely missed by all.”
