RIP to the Acid Queen.

The orignal movie "Tommy" in 1975 was a video storytelling version of the groundbreaking "rock opera" that had been written & performed by The Who, earlier than their appearance at Woodstock in 1969.

Roger Daltrey performed most of the vocals in the movie along with playing the lead character, but Tina Turner was brought in as the Acid Queen and nailed it. A sight to behold on the big screen and I had seen her concert during the same time frame in 1974 which was also beyond compare.
