Recreating this energy and distinctive choreography was no small feat, as Angela Bassett attested to Variety.

“I was like, ‘Thank you.
Thank you so much, Tina.’

Still, Angela Bassett said that Turner never hid from her past.

I shall hold these words close to my heart for the rest of my days,” Bassett wrote.
“I am honored to have known Tina Turner.
She gave us her whole self.”
