Editor's Take:

Tina Turner was rock and soul's most electrifying performer. Born Anna Mae Bullock in Tennessee, she grew up picking cotton. She joined Ike Turner's band as a teenager, and Ike & Tina Turner had hits including River Deep – Mountain High and Proud Mary. Behind the scenes Ike was violently abusive. She walked out in 1976 with almost nothing. Her solo comeback album Private Dancer, in 1984, made her a global superstar. What's Love Got to Do with It went to number one. She later moved to Switzerland and lived there until her death.

Tina 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 with her vocal prowess and stage presence.
