Tina Turner and Cher made a joint appearance today on the Oprah Winfrey Show at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Watch all the interviews and performances right here, including Tina Turner and Cher’s spirited joint performance of “Proud Mary.”

This may be their first interview together, but Tina and Cher have been friends for more than 30 years, ever since they performed together on The Sonny & Cher Show.

“The first time Tina and I worked together, she came into the studio and I was expecting, you know, Tina Turner, but she comes in wearing a little silk shirt and trousers and high heels. … Then we started talking, and I have a sailor’s mouth, and Tina is so genteel—she talks like such a lady,” Cher says. “She just kept looking at me, like, ‘Whoa, where did you come from?’”

That isn’t Cher’s only memory of that day. “I remember I thought, ‘I’m going to have to dance with Tina Turner,’” Cher says. “Do you know what that feels like? It’s like dancing with a hurricane.”

Tina says Cher also made an impression on her during their first meeting. “Cher was so free,” she says. “She was in control of her career and her life and what was in the studio.”
