Not hard to tell where Jagger got all his moves.
As Tina Turner told
The Daily Mail: “Mick wanted to dance –
and I was a dancer – but he never gave me the credit! He said his mother
taught him how to dance. But we worked with him in the dressing room,
me and the girls, and we taught him how to Pony.” The Pony was the
iconic foot-stomping, arm-flailing, move of the ‘60s that took
dancefloors and stages by storm. Jagger is no doubt one of the best Pony
men in the business and perhaps he has Tina Turner to credit for that. The two stars would meet again at Live Aid performance in Philadelphia on July 13th, 1985.
Tina Turner
burst onto the stage during The Rolling Stones set in typical
full-blooded energy. As ‘It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll’ reached its
scintillating climax, the singers were pushing the throttle into
overdrive, Jagger whipped off his shirt before unclipping Turner’s
leather mini-skirt leaving both stars to finish the show in a mid-stage
of undress, in what just might be one the most Pony-heavy performances
of all time. Aside from the high-jinks, there is also a third revealing
factor at play during the duet – the superstars cut very similar shapes
up on that stage.
