  • In the year 2000, Donovan traveled around the country and saw Tina Turner on her 24/7 tour 21 times.
    After Tina seeing him in the audience doing all the steps, singing all the words to every song, she one day surprised everyone and invited him to perform Proud Mary with her in front of a sold out crowd in Dallas, TX at the Reunion Arena on October 28, 2000. To this very day, it is the best day of Donovan's life! Donovan is the only fan that she has invited on stage with her to perform!

    Fantastic! Tina kept a tight eye on Donovon at the beginning. She looked a little tense a few bars into Proud Mary, as if she was thinking, 'What have I done?' Then she saw him fall right in, hit every move perfectly, and relaxed to concentrate on the song--and having a little dance fun with Donovon! Love it. Be Blessed, Tina. Hoping where you are now, is all Perfection & Light, dancing & singing among the Moon & Stars!

      No Joke!
      She was 60 yrs old at the time of this concert. And she was still rocking heels on her 76th birthday performance.
      I laugh, because I couldn't wear my heels anymore by the time I hit 30, so forget about my even being able to move across the stage the way Tina did at 60, holy cow. Like she said, "What set me apart from other girl singers is that I can DANCE", & dance she did. What a Power House.
      Miss Tina, wherever you are right now, I hope you are dancing & singing with glee.
      I love you & will miss you. Thank you for everything!

    This video makes me so very happy. I thought I was the BIGGEST TINA FAN! I probably would have hyperventilated just hugging her. Very impressed that Donovan knew all of the moves and got through the entire song without passing out! I love every moment of this (even if I get a little sad to know that I will never get to dance with Tina like that). ❤💖💋

    It's May 25, 2023 and the terribly sad news of Tina Turner's passing is being felt around the entire planet. I've watched this video more than 5 times and enjoyed it each and every time. I thought about Donovan Marcelle upon hearing the news of Tina's death. No I don't know him, but watching this fantastic video of him being invited up to the stage from his idol had to be the top of the toppest for him. I am sending him my deepest sympathy. You were right there Donovan and we all enjoyed seeing you enjoying it.

She had attained the highest of high stardom and yet she gratefully recognized a superfan. There will never be another performer like Ms. Turner.
