TINA TURNER
Tina Turner's career has spanned decades as she evolved into one of the leading female rockers. She was born Annie Mae Bullock in Tennessee in 1939. By the time she had turned 18, the powerful vocalist was part of Ike Turner's touring troupe. He changed her name to Tina. The 2 wed in 1958. Ike & Tina Turner began enjoying success on the album and singles charts with songs such as "A Fool In Love", "It's Gonna Work Out Fine", "Proud Mary" and the timeless "River Deep - Mountain High". Tina penned another rock staple, "Nutbush City Limits". 
After years of abuse, Tina left Ike in 1974. Slowly, she re-launched herself as a soloist. She portrayed The Acid Queen in the film adaptation of The Who's 'Tommy'. A Heaven 17 spinoff project resulted in a contract with a new label. She then issued "Let's Stay Together" and "What's Love Got To Do With It". Both songs were included on her 1984 album 'Private Dancer'. The latter single topped the charts in America, Canada and Australia. It reached #3 in Britain.
Subsequent hits include "We Don't Need Another Hero" (from another film role - 'Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome'), "Typical Male", "The Best" and "I Don't Want To Fight". 
Turner still performs. Her most recent studio album of all new material was 1999's 'Twenty Four Seven'. A compilation album was issued in 2018.
