Bassett today remembered the legendary Queen of Rock n Roll who died today at the age of 83.
Bassett continued, Her final words to me for me were You never mimicked me.
I shall hold these words close to my heart for the rest of my days.

I am honored to have known Tina Turner.
I am humbled to have helped show her to the world.
She gave us her whole self.

And Tina Turner is a gift that will always be simply the best.
Angels, sing thee to thy rest…Queen.
