Tina Turner

Simply The Best: Remembering Tina Turner - Rock and Roll GlobeTina Turner (born Anna Mae Bullock; November 26, 1939 – May 24, 2023) was a singer, songwriter, actress, and author. Dubbed the “Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll”, she broke both racial and gender barriers in rock music and became a dominant figure in popular culture. Known for her vocal prowess and stage presence, Turner is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with estimated sales of over 100 million records worldwide.

Turner rose to prominence in the 1960s as the lead vocalist of the husband-wife duo Ike & Tina Turner, known for their explosive live performances with the Ikettes and Kings of Rhythm.[6] After years of marital abuse, she ended her personal and professional relationship with Ike Turner in the 1970s and embarked on a solo career.

She made a comeback with her multi-platinum fifth solo album Private Dancer (1984), whose single “What’s Love Got to Do with It” won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year and became her only number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100. Her worldwide chart success continued with the Top 10 singles “Better Be Good to Me”, “Private Dancer”, “We Don’t Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)”, “Typical Male”, and “I Don’t Wanna Fight”.

Turner’s Break Every Rule World Tour became the highest-grossing tour by a female artist of the 1980s and set a Guinness World Record for the then-largest paying audience in a concert (180,000).
