Tina Turner's Enduring Legacy: From Hometown Heroine to Global Icon.
TL;DR Summary
The residents of Nutbush, Tennessee, remember Tina Turner, who immortalized her hometown in her song "Nutbush City Limits." Although she hardly ever returned to Nutbush, her connection to the town endured through the museum dedicated to her childhood schoolhouse. The refurbished building is filled with artifacts that Ms. Turner personally sent for display, including sequined outfits by Bob Mackie and Giorgio Armani. During a recent memorial, people sang hymns and 83 candles were lit - one for each year of Ms. Turner's life.
