Tina Turner singing 'Edith And The Kingpin' on Herbie Hancock's Tribute album to Joni Mitchell entitled "River: The Joni Letters" (Excellent Vocals). Release Date: 28th September 2007. EDITH AND THE KINGPIN The big man arrives Disco dancers greet him Plainclothes cops greet him Small town, big man, fresh lipstick glistening Sophomore jive From victims of typewriters The band sounds like typewriters The big man he's not listening His eyes hold Edith His left hand holds his right What does that hand desire That he grips it so tight Edith in the ring The passed over girls are conferring The man with the diamond ring is purring All claws for now withdrawn One by one they bring His renegade stories to her His crimes and his glories to her In challenge they look on Women he has taken grow old too soon He tilts their tired faces Gently to the spoon Edith in his bed A plane in the rain is humming The wires in the walls are humming Some song some mysterious song Bars in her head Beating frantic and snowblind Romantic and snowblind She says his crime belongs Edit and the Kingpin Each with charm to sway Are staring eye to eye They dare not look away You know they dare not look away

Joni! They did tribute to her and the whole CD is great. It's nice to hear Herbie's great arrangements of the tunes on this CD. He really knew and understood where she was coming from, that was obvious. Tina does lay this out! He knew she would.

I also read in an interview to Wayne Shorter,in a Spanish paper, that, Herbie,Tina and himself were, "buddies" and they don't have jaleous of each others... I think Tina's has been a little bit independient of both divisions...

I don't think so! I also heard that Herbie Hancock was at Tina's house in Zurich. So who knows! I'm a soka gakkai member I don't know if Tina is a member of soka gakkai or a member of Nichiren Soshu.

I am SGI US also, she is very ambigious about the whole thing, she does deserve some privacy. I dont know that it really matters, i started as a templehood members many yrs ago. I just assumed she was SGI. Others are speculating that she stayed w/ templehood, that doesnt sound logical.

Great! I love Joni, this is fantastic!

tina's still pretty great even after all these years, but whoever botched the auto-tune job around 2:15 blows.
