Quelle ‘Sacrée Soirée’ avec Tina Turner

Tina Turner was a guest on the set of France most popular show back in the 80′s ‘Sacrée Soirée’. She performed Look Me In The Heart and is interviewed by presenter Jean-Pierre Foucault. After the interview, Tina is asked to participate to a magic trick on the set of the tv show. She gladly does it but she has no idea that in fact the trick is related to her, and that she will get a big surprise! Have fun watching the video and hopefully you’ll be as surprised as Tina at the end of the magic trick!

Tina Turner and Paul Schaffer on Friday Night Videos

Tina Turner is a guest VJ on Friday Night Videos back in 1989. She is joined by Paul Schaffer: musician, composer and probably most famous as band leader on David Letterman’s Late Night shows. Paul is a big fan of Phil Spector, so he takes the opportunity to ask some questions to Tina about recording River Deep, Mountain High in 1966: she shares some interesting anecdotes. Besides that, Tina talks a bit about recording her album Foreign Affair, and of course introduces some of her favourite videos.

I Don’t Wanna Lose You, Thomas Gottschalk!

It appears that any time Tina Turner performs on German television, this guy is also there: Thomas Gottschalk. He is Germany’s most famous TV presenter, and he has introduced and interviewed Tina in a variety of shows, most notably several times on Wetten, Dass…? When Tina and Children Beyond appeared at the Ein Herz Für Kinder-gala last December in Berlin, Thomas was also there: his last job for TV channel ZDF.
The clip above is however from another program in the beginning of 1990. The program ‘Das Waren Die Achtziger’ looks back at the 1980′s, including a small tribute to Tina’s hit song We Don’t Need Another Hero. Tina however appears on the show to perform her, at that time, new single I Don’t Wanna Lose You from the Foreign Affair album.
