Adam Kealoha Causey was just 10 years old the first time he truly heard Tina Turner’s voice. As The Associated Press writer notes in an essay, the moment was transforming. He would go on to become a mega-fan, accompanying and later bringing his parents to several of her rollicking live concerts. And he would also come to deeply appreciate the Grammy winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer’s lasting endurance not only as an artist but as a brave and outspoken survivor of domestic violence. When he heard of Turner’s death at 83, Causey decided it was time to repay the gift she had given him with some appreciative words of his own.
