Nice post! Chelsea DeVantez has a podcast called Celebrity Book Club and she did Tina’s book. It was such a good episode. I’ve always thought Tina was cool and talented but never knew much behind the tabloid highlights

I would have loved to have seen her live before she retired because she puts on a great show. I'm just glad she is living a good life in Switzerland with her hubby and is doing well healthwise now.

"She has been previously inducted but this consideration for her solo career.

I WAS ABOUT TO SAY!! When I saw her name I was like "J U A T HOW IS SHE NOT IN?!" but still even as a soloist she should've been inducted LONG AGO!

Her latest book was quite good IMO. (It focuses heavily on spirituality, so skip it if that's not your thing.)

I can't think of a more legendary comeback than her resurgence in the 80s. She is an inspiration to many, including me!

A looong time ago I remember watching a TV special(??? or segment?? idk the context tbh) that showed her getting ready for a huge arena performance and they interviewed one of her young backup dancers and the dancer said she was nervous, and then the interviewer turned to Tina and asked, "Are you nervous?" and she just went, "No," and I thought it was the funniest thing lol.
