Watch: Bronwen Lewis’ lovely Welsh version of Tina Turner’s ‘Simply The Best’

When Tina Turner sadly passed away back in May, aged 83, she left behind a canon of incredible songs.

Known as the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll, she rose to prominence as the lead singer of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue before launching a successful career as a solo performer.

Bronwen, who hosts her own Radio Wales show on Sunday morning, is famed for her TikTok videos, which see her cover famous pop songs in the Welsh language.
