I can tell that Ms. Rhonda is a no nonsense kind of woman and very protective of Ms. Tina. She stayed by Ms. Tina's side for 55 years speaks volumes!

Rhonda lived a quiet and simple life in a suburb of Los Angeles. She was a neighbor of a friend of mine and no one in the neighborhood knew of her history with Tina Turner. They learned of her career through the obituary and were in complete shock of her life as she never mentioned it.

Personal Assistants usually keep their bosses life & schedule confidential or on a need to know basis. And when your boss is famous, this skill set is taken to a whole new level. It sounded as though there were security/safety concerns that she needed to work around (due to Tina being a celebrity). So it doesn’t surprise me that she kept her work life private and didn’t tell anyone. It is ironic that this video showed up in my U-Tube feed because I’ve been wondering who Tina’s assistant was, after Tina passed away. I’m also an assistant which is why I wondered who helped Tina during her busy career.

I remember Janis Joplin guesting on the Tonight Show and she was asked who her idols and influences were, one who Janis mention was Tina Turner who at that time was a star among Black's but very few whites knew of her and Janis gave Tina big praises and told the audience to look for her in the future because she was gonna be big , really big .

@marvingee39

Жыл бұрын

Not quite true that very few whites knew of Tina when Janis made those remarks. Tina had already been on tour with the Rolling Stones at that time, and had a big hit with "River Deep -- Mountain High" in 1966. Her fame was small-ish compared to her uber-success she enjoyed as a solo act, post-Ike, but she wasn't at all unknown to white music fans.

I LOVE "I Can't Stand the Rain". I am surprised this song was one of Rhonda's favorite songs from Tina. Of course there are so many great songs but this one was an instant favorite for me too. Tina FOREVER!!!

This is just fantastic! Tina has only spoken highly of this woman in her books. Great photos! There is also a lovely tribute to Rhonda and the Tina Turner musical. Check it out!

Great lady! Tina had great people around her and this says everything about who she was.

Wow! I knew nothing about Rhonda. Thankful for this interview. Rest well Ms Graam.

Great interview by Rhonda Graam! Revealing insight into Tina Turner's life (onstage & off) by her closest confidant & tour manager/promoter. So sad to hear of Tina's passing today. What a pair of strong, trail blazing women they were! Thanks for all the wonderful music Tina! You were a brave, determined & pioneering icon!

Hearing stories about the history of working with someone like Tina, amazing. Sad hearing that this lovely lady is no longer with us. I'm sure Tina feels the absence from her life.

She was as good to me from the age of 15 all through high school. We kept in touch and she NEVER failed to call me no matter where she was on my birthday. There will never be anyone as unselfish as Ronnie. I am devastated to now she is gone. I would call and sometimes would answer but couldn't talk for much time.

She's correct, she's a performer first, singer 2nd but both equal out of this world talent. She's without a doubt the best & most iconic concert I have ever been to, & 2nd was Celine Dion. Tina had Joe Cocker open for her & that was freaking awesome too. My daughter is 36 years old now & she still talks about seeing Tina & how iconic it was for her. My Daddy bought her a T-shirt of course & she painted it on canvas & it looks just like the T-shirt. ❤🙆‍♂️💯 Still blessed & thankful to have seen this Legend 💞 Love you Ms. Turner

Terrific interview. I was never aware of her. I love to hear these behind the scenes stories.

When I turned 18 I went to the Cinnamon Cinder in Long Beach to see the Righteous Bothers. They checked my ID and wished me Happy Birthday. I first saw Tina and Ike at a little hole in the wall dance joint in Santa Ana, CA near Main Place Mall. I was mesmerized. I loved to dance and her music was show stopping. From there they appeared at a more upscale place (but not much) in Costa Mesa called Fat Fingers. I never saw them again in person, darn it, but followed her career the rest of her life. Simply the Best!

It was great to learn of Rhonda… Tina had good reason to not keep touring and recording, wish I could have seen her musical, but Covid took that away. Tina is just missed and always simply the best!✨♥️💫👋🏽🤚🏼

I loved this interview in light of the recent saddening situation... I'm so happy to have seen this but then I see Ms. Graam passed. I'm so sorry to see this... I was simply astonished by the fact that she was by Tina Turner's side since I was born... I'm blown away and now sad to hear. God bless Ms. Graam. Talk about loyalty... integrity... devotion. Tina was truly blessed to have had her throughout her entire journey.

Rhonda is a phenomenal woman in her own right. She sure smashed some barriers during her career! Being a female manager of any kind (artist manager, tour manager, etc.) in the music business was unheard of in the 1960s. Being a female manager of anything was a rarity back at that time. I think Rhonda may have been the only one in the entertainment industry then. The other thing that Rhonda and Tina broke down is the race barrier that existed during that era. I’m sure there were white male managers of black entertainers, but black male managers of white groups I bet there weren’t near as many. White females-nope. This was BEFORE desegregation!

Yes it was very rare for artists to have a female manager but they existed and flourished and some owned major companies! I can think of three important managers for important artists. Johnny Mathis' manager was Helen Noga, the co-owner of the Black Hawk club in San Francisco where Mathis got his start. The Black Hawk was a setting for several famous recordings from Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Mongo Santamaria, Dave Brubeck, Ahmad Jamal and Cal Tjader and Shelley Manne. Miriam Bienstock founded Atlantic records with Ahmet Ertegun. She really ran the money aspect of Atlantic and kept it afloat including managing major artists at the label for decades, including Ray Charles, the Coasters and Ruth Brown. Sue Mengers was such a legendary and formidable talent manager/agent that Bette Midler played her on Broadway. Mengers had a notorious feud with one of her clients, someone named Barbra.

You obviously don't know the Truth. It was Tina who was violent and not ike. When Tina went solo a feminist group thought it was a good idea to reverse Tina's identity or reputation with Ikes. Ike died owned a non profit that helped women get way from domestic violent homes. It was Tina who beat him and other women. Tina actually used to be pimped in Tennessee and she violently abused the girls if they came up short on money. You had to be local in Tennessee to know this about her. Tina was in showbusiness a long time and Ike is the one who put up his money to get her out of that street life and into show business where she was obviously happier... so a lot of people in Tennessee know the truth about Tina. And since Ike was a huge mentor to kids and the community,a lot of people who know him have big respect for him. He did.have a stint where he did do drugs but he got arrested and wasn't productive. Not violent. According to everyone and this is mostly Church ministers and court judges, they all say that was Tina.

Rhonda used her white priveledge to get them gigs during the jim crow era.For that alone...we gotta give her credit.R I.P Rhonda.Shout out to all of the road managers,publicists,promoters and even band members and light technicians and people who set up the equipment and the bodyguards too! We too often forget these people.They are just as important as the big acts.

❤ No doubt about it Tina Turner is and always will be Simply The Best. ❤ RIP 🙏 angel Tina 😇 you'll be missed by millions 😢 love you always 😢🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺

Resembles Bette Davis to me.

Tina’s picture in the thumbnail is so full of energy…really great capture.

Bravo for an excellent interview that is not pretentious or phony adjust Queen Mother Tina Turner was truthful Raw and organically deliberate. Thank you for showing this I came across them in a timely manner

Great job Lucas and it is a great memorial to both and women rising up in workforce and through racism.

I bet she could tell us some stories. I don't like Ike for the way he treated Tina. But I will say he had talent. Hope nothing but good health and happiness for Tina.

In the words of our Tina... Super! :-) Thank you Lucas! Happy 2021! Hugs from Australia.
