Proud Mary
Tina Turner was born Anna Mae Bullock on November 26, 1939 in Brownsville, Tennessee, a sharecropper's daughter. Turner began her career in 1958 as a featured singer with Ike Turner's Kings of Rhythm, recording under the name "Little Ann" on "Boxtop". Her introduction to the public as Tina Turner began with the hit single "A Fool in Love" (1960), released by the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. She married Ike Turner in 1962. Success followed with a string of notable hits, including "Proud Mary" in 1971. Tina separated from Ike Turner in 1976, ending both their personal relationship and their musical partnership; the couple divorced in 1978. In her autobiography, I, Tina: My Life Story (1986), Turner revealed that Ike Turner had subjected her to domestic violence.
In the 1980s, Turner launched a major comeback as a solo artist. A string of hits turned her into a superstar. In 1993, "What's Love Got to Do with It", a biographical film adapted from Turner's autobiography, was released along with an accompanying soundtrack album.
Turner has won 12 Grammy Awards; those awards include eight competitive awards, three Grammy Hall of Fame awards, and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Rolling Stone ranked Turner 63rd on its list of the 100 greatest artists of all time and 17th on its list of the 100 greatest singers of all time. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Ike Turner in 1991 (she refused to show up for the award) and is a 2005 recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors.
Here is Tina Turner, on her final world tour in 2009. 70 years old, she was celebrating over 50 years in the music business.
