    Last year, she became an online sensation when LaBelle posted a video of the young Turner singing her 1983 hit “If Only You Knew” on her Instagram account. Turner was then invited to appear on the “Steve Harvey Show” and while she was singing, Labelle made a surprise entrance and the two sang together.

    Skye recently performed with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra as part of their summer Parks Concerts series. She also performed at the Dallas school system’s 2018 State of the District.

    “TINA: The TINA Turner Musical” opens Nov. 7 at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in New York City.
