RECORDED IN HER HOME IN THE VALLEY, EPISODE 1 FEATURES AN EXCERPT FROM CARL’S EXTENSIVE PRE-COMEBACK INTERVIEW WITH TINA TURNER.  ALSO PRESENT DURING THE INTERVIEW WAS HER THEN (AND CURRENT) MANAGER ROGER DAVIES.

When Carl interviewed Tina at her LA Home in December of 1980, she was still dazzling hotel and theater crowds, BUT the powerhouse performer had no record contract.  With savvy manager Roger Davies she sparked a plan to invade rock coliseums and become a world famous performer and movie star as Tina.  She prayed it would work.  (Spoiler alert: It did!)

Excerpts from Carl’s full interviews with Tina Turner, more than six hours of recordings conducted over a twenty year period, were featured in the recent award-winning HBO documentary “TINA!”
