Tina Turner

Tina Turner, born Anna Mae Bullock, is a singer and actress whose career has spanned more than 60 years. She has won numerous awards, including eight Grammys. Tina began her music career with her husband, Ike Turner, as a member of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. Success followed with a string of hits including “River Deep, Mountain High” and “Proud Mary.” She divorced Ike in 1978 and, after virtually disappearing from the music scene for several years, rebuilt her career, launching a string of hits including her 1984 solo album, Private Dancer. In 1986, she published a bestselling memoir, I, TINA, which was turned into the Academy Award-nominated film What’s Love Got to Do with It in 1993.
