Tina Turner (1939-2023)

The Queen of Rock n'Roll, Tina Turner, has passed away at the age of 83.  From her beginnings as the frontwoman of the Ike and Tina Turner Review, to her worldwide enduring fame as a solo artist (which enabled her to be the second woman inducted twice into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame), to all of the ways in which pop culture has made her an icon...Tina was a singular phenomenon and the world is less brightly bombastic without her and her fabulous legs.

Long-time fans are aware Trevor contributed to her 1996 album Wildest Dreams, playing and singing on the majority of the songs produced by Trevor Horn.  On her cover of John Waite's hit "Missing You" both Trevors are providing backing vocals and are even credited as "(The Two Trevors)."


"Dancing in My Dreams" which closes the album, has a bit of the ZA sound to it, and Trevor's presence definitely adds to the authenticity of that mood.
