She was in hiding there for 3 days.
"She only had 36 cents to her name and a Mobil gas card, but when she walked in the manager said, ‘I recognize you Ms. Turner.’ She was beaten, battered and bruised and all that. And it was her escape from that life," Deberry said. The tour stop in Dallas would go on to highlight Turner's legacy, as the place where she grabbed back her life and soared to the highest of music heights.Tina Turner, the unstoppable performer who teamed with husband Ike Turner for a dynamic run of hit records in the 1960s and ‘70s and survived her horrifying marriage to triumph in middle age, has died at 83.
In the meantime, there is another Tina-themed room on the 11th floor at what is now the Lorenzo Hotel."These are my shoes, my Tina sneaks. I just randomly put on yesterday," said Carter. "Every birthday cake I ever had had Tina Turner on it growing up.""My mom said my first words might as well have been mama, daddy and then Tina," said Carter.
The idolization comes with a family connection, his great uncle played saxophone for Tina and then husband, Ike.
