Tina Turner/David Bowie - Tonight

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrdzqMlQt10&feature=related

Apparently I am addicted to these rich voices of older women reaching from a rock 'n roll past. Tina Turner's turn at Bowie's reggae song is riotous, joyful, lovely. The bounce in the melody, the playful mix of their voices, the happy mood of the song. It's so eighties and so much makes me want to dance on a pier with a beloved. It's almost campy when you get these two icons together and the concert footage makes it even more so. They shouldn't exist in the same world, but this song proves their talents mesh nicely.
