Simply the Best
Tina Turner (born Anna Mae Bullock; November 26, 1939 – May 24, 2023) was a singer, songwriter, and actress. Known as the “Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll“, she rose to prominence as the lead singer of the husband-wife duo Ike & Tina Turner. Their tumultuous marriage led to a divorce and disbanding in 1976,[6] with Turner embarking on a successful solo career and becoming one of the greatest cultural icons of all time.
In 1984, Turner launched “one of the greatest comebacks in music history”,[7] with her multi-platinum album Private Dancer. Its single “What’s Love Got to Do with It” won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year and became her only number-one song on the Billboard Hot 100. Turner’s chart worldwide success continued with “Let’s Stay Together“, “Better Be Good to Me“, “Private Dancer“, “We Don’t Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)“, “It’s Only Love“, “Typical Male“, “The Best“, “I Don’t Wanna Lose You“, “I Don’t Wanna Fight“, and “GoldenEye“. Her Break Every Rule World Tour (1987–1988) became the highest-grossing female tour of the 1980s and set a Guinness World Record for the then-largest paying audience in a concert (180,000).[8]
