an insert in the article said,

Remembered With a Dance:

As news of her death reached Australia, people all over the country paid tribute to the star by doing the Nutbush, a popular dance set to Turner's song "Nutbush City Limits."

        (I'm going to look for videos of this on You Tube.)

"Nutbush City Limits" -- Tina wrote that one, and I thought it was so interesting that Bob Seger recorded a cover version of this song.
