It was!  She seemed to have so much ENERGY (just like Prince, another shocking death)! I believe she still performed in her 70's, in those heels. She seemed indestructible to me.
I didn't know that she was in an abusive marriage to Ike until I saw the movie, What's Love Got to Do with it?  Angela Bassett was superb in it. As we can see, she didn't need Ike. She'd done alright. (Understatement I know! )
Yeah Turner's Proud Mary and I Wanna Take You Higher are more "robust" than the originals, though I love the originals too. (CCR recorded Proud Mary as I think they wrote the song too) But it seems Turner's version is more well known.
