"I Don't Hear It in My Head. I Feel It in My Chest." The Secret Behind Tina Turner's Voice

Every time Tina Turner walked into a recording studio, she did the same thing: she set the headphones on the stand beside the microphone and left them there. Every producer asked the same question. Every engineer stared through the control room glass in confusion. And she gave the same answer every time: "I hear it fine." But once — just once — she said something more. She said: "I don't hear the music in my head. I feel it in my chest. If I put the headphones on, the music goes into my head and I start thinking about it. If I hear it through the room, it goes into my body and I just sing." This is the story of what that meant — and what it produced.
