She never did things nice... and easy.
This woman was EPIC. She had hits when my parents were young, and she continued to have hits well into my teen years. WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER HEROOOOO!
Her story is well-known, from books to movies to jukebox musicals.
My friend's dad, Dale, was in love with her.
She blurred the lines between soul, rock, and R&B so that she pretty much ruled wherever she landed.
What can I say about her that hasn't already been said?
Her music is the dividing line when I went from being a participating skater to becoming a competitor. I was struggling with an overly complicated concept for a skating program when Proud Mary came on VH-1 while I was making dinner. Like a laser, the song cut through any ill-conceived ideas I had, and I was just going to skate with the energy of Tina Turner. It was my first decisive win, coming in first out of seven at the Grand Rapids Open, second at Wyandotte, second at sectionals, and just outside the medals in sixth at nationals.
She invites you to tap into her energy. Love to you, Anna Mae.
