Exclusive interview with the author of THE REAL T AND ME: Two Decades of Love, Life, and Friendship with Tina Turner, which is publishing for the first time in North America on the same day this podcast premieres. At a young age Eddy used to pray he would become Tina's best friend and, years later, through perseverance and ingenuity, he met Ike & Tina Turner when he was only 14 years old and started their fan club. Then he lived through the tumultuous breakup of their marriage and became Tina's personal assistant, confidant, travel companion, and eventually became the person who created her new look as she broke into mega-stardom on her own.  His story is, without a doubt, the most honest and intimate access to the private side of this international rock superstar and you will come away loving her even more!
