We are all lucky to have shared the planet with this woman.

She was a good sport and a classy lady.

How could you NOT love this woman.. So Talented, So attractive, So Humble. RIP... Never forgotten, LEGEND !!!!! A life worth living.

She was such a knock out!! Watching her perform was ALWAYS inspiring! No one could move and sing like Tina. This is a sad day knowing she is no longer with us. What a fantastic world class talent.

Tina had a beautiful laugh. She was pure and natural. Rest in peace, queen

Simply the best! There'll never be one like her again.

Farewell beautiful lady. You changed this world for the better, always an inspiration. Rest peacefully, dear Tina. Thanks for everything. 🌹

How could 40 years have gone by so quickly????? Thank you, Tina, for the memories.

Man....she was on top of the world in '84.

Deeply saddened by her passing. She was my one of favorite childhood icons. RIP Queen Tina Turner

This beautiful women, after years of abuse, she never lost her amazing soul. She held her head up high and lived with dignity and pride. I love this women. May she rest in eternal peace. She's a true legend and the legacy she has left will be her own, unmatched by no one....she's an amazing role model for ALL women.

She had it all, so beautiful, charming, warm, talented and a great sense of humour.

As soon as I saw the headline pop up, I came right to KZfaq to see which Letterman segment was pulled to remember her. Excellent choice.

Tuna Turner is one of my all-time favorite Letterman spots. Fond farewell to her.

Tina Turner, Mick Jagger, and David Bowie….3 legendary musicians and performers.

She was classy and well spoken....a sad loss...RIP.

Fun Fact: From Late Night writer Joe Toplyn’s book: As I mentioned, the writers are almost never involved in the panel segments, where the host interviews the guests. But there are exceptions. Sometimes a writer can script a comedy extra for a guest. Such an extra can add entertainment value to what would otherwise be a fairly predictable encounter. For example, when I was a new writer on LNwDL, I learned that singer Tina Turner was going to be a guest. I remembered seeing, in a store window on my walk to work, a ridiculous product called "The Tuna Turner," a plastic container with a crank that could be used to blend the ingredients for tuna salad. Dave and the talent department went for my idea to present the gadget to Tina on the show. A couple of days later, there was the legendary Tina Turner at homebase, giddily cranking The Tuna Turner and making tuna salad while the band played Tina's hit "River Deep, Mountain High."

Thank you Tina Turner. ONE of a kind. You made your mark. What a talent.

RIP Tina Turner. You were simply the best. ❤

We saw her in Oakland in 2001 and it was a simply phenomenal performance. I heard her share on many occasions that people pay their hard earned money to see her and they deserve her best. Not to be corny, but she truly was simply the best. What a woman!

RIP Tina!! You have a place in my heart always.

Gosh, she had to be so polite to Letterman. What a lady. When you listen to her explain how difficult it could be to get some songs played on different music stations in America - "it was too black for some stations and not black enough for others", even in 1984, and how politely she discussed it, she handled herself so beautifully. What an inspiration. I'm so glad I got to experience her music and even see her live 😍

I am so heartbroken 💔 that she has passed. You didn't grow up in the 80s and didn't know who she was. Queen of rock and roll. You will be missed. You were a true queen and thank you for your wonderful music.

She had such a great genuine laugh. Her smiles were so radiant lighting up her face and beaming out love on everyone.

I am shocked. I have to cry untill I run out of tears. She will never be forgotten. So much wonderful memories. Thank you Tina for the glorious music.

You guys are faster than the BBC.

Saw Tina perform live 4 decades ago. Loved her! Tina will be missed!!!

The best! RIP Tina, the legend.

She was a class act.

It’s so sad that time passes. So much powerful energy, talent graced this planet and suddenly all gone forever. Hard to imagine.

"Paul, can we have a little music while Tina cranks her tuna?" 🤣🤣🤣 God I miss Dave.

"Paul, can we have a little music while Tina cranks her tuna?"

What a classy, beautiful, intelligent, sexy, sensual, talented, lovely, and phenomenal woman. R.I.P Tina!

I loved it at 1:56 as she opens the box. She was so cute and happy about it! Just a little girl from Nutbush getting a present. Adorable. Deepest condolences to her family.

😂😂😂 I like how Tina did a little dance while mixing the "Tuna Turner", too funny!!! Love her high pitched laughing, very sweet! Tina was always a good sport! That's what made Tina so great and why us fans really adored her!!! Still miss you Tina!!!!😢😢😢

Simply the best. Rip

So classy and humble... note, she said Mick Jagger learned with her and the girls (the dancers). She could have simply talk only of herself and we wouldnt mind or notice. But no... she gave credit to her dancers. This is class you dont find anywhere anymore. All these so called celebrities/artists are just "me, myself and i" (no pun intended). You will be greatly missed, Tina❤

Rare and refreshing to see someone with that level of talent and fame with no apparent airs. What a star.

Truly, a force of nature xx

All these clips that get posted whenever someone passes makes me really appreciate Dave. Been watching him my whole life, gonna be weird when he’s not around anymore.

Is this not SIMPLY THE BEST thing you've seen on the internet today? Oh to hear Tina's infectious squeal of a laugh again. Bless her. Thanks for the music.

She is an amazing person. Great energy and so grounded.

RIP Tina. What a fantastic performer and beautiful classy lady

Dave had the BEST writing staff 😊 Excellent bit and she was game to go along with it❤

what a neat lady - a beautiful woman - an amazing performer - a gifted singer - Touched by the hand of God - RIP

I meanwhile really appreciate these honorings of celebritiys, who‘ve been friends of the show and now past away, through posting their appereances on the late show.

So sad. She was simply the best. 😢

RIP Tina. We love you.

Radiating star now beaming across all universes

Thanks for this. I had the pleasure of seeing hew a few times -- the last was in 2000. We paid a lot to get up front tickets and it was worth it! R.I.P Tina!

How can you not love this talented, iconic, beautiful and funny lady? R.I.P. Tina!

Thanks for the timely nod to one of the best, most hardworking talents in the business. Sure don't make them like that anymore 😭

A chance to watch this beautiful and talented performer is a gift. RIP.

I like how she's more than willing to use the tuna turner! Very hands on, practical. Charming lady.

Tina also had a great appearance on Late Night in '93 (I believe). She performed a song ("I Don't Wanna Fight") and then had a hilarious interview with Dave where he tried to convince her to marry him. Peace to you, Tina.

Love love love this woman. RIP you fabulous giant and GOAT.

Knowing there is someone just sitting around waiting for celebs to die so the Letterman youtube channel can post their interviews with them keeps me up at night.

Tina Turner is one of the greatest singers ever. She will always be The Queen of Rock and Roll. She left a legacy that we will always remember. There will never be another one like Tina Turner. Rest in Peace, Tina. We will miss you. ❤

She is one of those beautiful people that you wish would never age or dye, cause they are so inspirational and talented that you can't get enough of them. And you want to go on watching them perform forever. 😔 Love you Tina Turner. 😍👌

What a great singer and a class act. Tina Turner was one of the best singers of pop/rock music this world will ever know. I feel so blessed that I have memories of her music when it was released. Hearing her songs for the first time was/is a wonderful experience indeed!

She always seemed a very fun person. And what a knockout. RIP

You are in the arms of tge angels Tina. Rest in peace beautiful lady. You deserve that . Thank you for all the beautiful memories.🩷🌷🌹🌸🌺🌼⚘️🪻🌻🥲

She’s lucky she moved to Europe where she was treated as a woman , an entertainer- not a black woman , or a black entertainer. She was also so lucky to meet a man who adored her- thank you Erwin for treating her like a queen and making her so happy!

Oh Miss Turner I love you. Rest in Rockin Power sista

I thought Tina would live forever. So smokin hot on the stage, such energy. Loved her authenticity and admired her spiritually. I will miss her. I loved how she navigated her short skirt here. It's those fabulous legs of hers. Thanks for this guys♥️

Lovely talented Lady Tina Turner. Miss you! Thank you for sharing your talents with the world. RIP. 💔 💧 🌟 forever

Wow! She was so beautiful!!

She is absolutely cool as hell...all smiles and down to Earth!...

Rest well Tina before your next life journey! My Mom just passed a few months ago at the age of 83 as well. Just like my Mom, I will always keep you in my heart for bringing to the world so many wonderful songs. "Nam Myoho Renge Kyo".

Rest in peace Tina. Dave was a little stiff in this one, but it was a wonderful snapshot of her career at that point. It was nice to watch today.

I remember when she started wearing this wig it was the best decision. It really matched her onscreen persona and she looked outrageous with it, especially the clips holding back the front. So edgy and cool

We salute the divinity in you 👑Tina Turner, you will rest peacefully in our hearts forever...🙏🏾💕

She was certainly the best of us! RIP Ms Tina Turner you will be missed. 😢❤

What a delightful giggle!

What beautiful manners! Charm par excellence in receiving that "Tuna Turner"! Grace personified.

this interview stuck in my head because of the tuna gag and how delightful Ms Turner was about the whole thing She gave a very nice interview and seemed like a delightful extremely talented person

RIP Tina Turner, she was an amazing woman and one of the best performers of all time

Few have deserved the title of "Icon" as much as Tina.

Charming and sweet. RIP beautiful Queen Tina. 🧡🙏

1984 was such a magical year. My 1st year of HS & a great era for music. Great to see this archived nostalgia.

God bless Tina Turner she was a beautiful person and may she rest in peace.

Such a beautiful, talented and powerful woman. I was lucky to have seen her perform with Rod Stewart, the Stones and Bryan Adams. She was electrifying.

Tina's music IS timeless Big loss RIP

She had the best legs in the music business! I'm gonna miss her and her incredible music.

Rest in Peace, Queen
