The legendary songstress Patti LaBelle honored her iconic peer Tina Turner during this year’s BET Awards.

On June 25, LaBelle hit the stage the crowd, sending the crowd into a frenzy during the tribute. The godmother of soul even donned a stunning Tina Turner-inspired sequin dress and fly, blonde wig– further showcasing not just the Nutbush, Tennessee native’s musical talents but influential style.

She started the show by singing, “Simply The Best,” one of Turner’s most popular songs. Toward the middle of the song she asked the crowd to help her due to briefly forgetting the words, but stuck with it, ending strong. At one point, she brought out background singers further amplifying the performance with a church-feel.

Throughout her vibrant and successful career spanning eight decades, Turner turned heads with her dynamic vocals and even more influential life story.

She rose to prominence as the lead singer of the Ike and Turner Revue before breaking through as a solo artist. She may have gained popularity from “Proud Mary,” which she performed alongside Ike Turner, but it didn't take long for her to be regarded as a household name by her own accord. With hits like, “The Best” and “What’s Love Got to Do with It” it is no coincidence that Turner was made to be a star.

After news of Turner’s passing hit the airwaves back in May, LaBelle honored the legend on Instagram with a heartwarming post showing her admiration for the late star. “You truly are the Queen of Rock & Roll and your spirit will reign forever! Rest in eternal peace and love,” LaBelle shared in the post.

LaBelle is a force to reckon with herself, with hits like, “Lady Marmalade” it's no wonder how she has become a household name with a prolific career spanning over 50 years. LaBelle is living proof that she only gets better with age and isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Turner and LaBelle may have dominated different music genres, both are trailblazers in their own right and have maintained their statuses as timeless artists over the years.
