COULD THE ENERGETIC, VIVACIOUS, BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED DOROTHY ROBERSON BE THE ONE TO KEEP TINA TURNER LEGACY ALIVE?
Dorothy Roberson is a well respected Live Chicago’s Tina Turner Tribute Artist. Dorothy Roberson is considered The Tina Turner Maverick with her amplified vocals that fills a room large or small that stems from her singing in a gospel church choir of 40 years! Some have said that she sounds as though she has a built in microphone because of her booming voice!
Dorothy now 68, has the energy of a 25 year old, when it comes to performing the music of the late Tina Turner. Dorothy is a well respected and highly praised live Tina Turner tribute artist who started off experimenting with the music of Tina Turner in front of iconic Chicago landmark buildings such as the Corner of Macys on State St., Chicago Theater, and outside the Wrigley Building. Dorothy was desperate and determined to find a musical way to make ends meet to support herself after similar parallel marriage situation as the Late Tina Turner. After an emotional divorce that left her financially crippled at age of 53 she put her strong gospel singing voice into action. Dorothy could be found every summer perfecting her Tina Turner Craft hoping that she could be potentially booked on a real stage platform. After six years of Tina Turner Street performing her resilience and determination finally paid off when she appeared on major Chicago newspapers, magazine covers, numerous radio interviews and appearances on the news. The exposure she received through the media led to the rise of what we know now as Chicago’s Tina Turner!
