Tina Turner(born Anna Mae Bullock; November
26, 1939) is an American-born Swiss singer, songwriter and actress. Widely
referred to as the "Queen
of Rock 'n' Roll", she rose to prominence as
the lead singer of the Ike &
Tina Turner Revue before launching a
successful career as a solo performer.
Turner began her career with Ike Turner's Kings of Rhythm in 1957. Under the name Little Ann, she appeared on her first record, "Boxtop",
in 1958. In 1960, she was introduced as Tina Turner with the hit duet single
"A Fool in Love". The duo Ike &
Tina Turner became "one of the most
formidable live acts in history". They released hits such as "It's Gonna
Work Out Fine", "River Deep –
Mountain High", "Proud Mary",
and "Nutbush City
Limits" before disbanding in 1976.
In the 1980s, Turner launched "one of
the greatest comebacks in music history". Her 1984 multi-platinum album Private Dancer contained the hit song "What's
Love Got to Do with It", which won the Grammy Award
for Record of the Year and became her
first and only Nº 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
At age 44, she was the oldest female solo artist to top the Hot 100. Her chart
success continued with "Better Be
Good to Me", "Private
Dancer", "We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)",
"Typical Male",
"The Best",
"I Don't Wanna
Fight", and "GoldenEye".
During her Break Every
Rule World Tour in 1988, she set a then-Guinness
World Record for the largest paying
audience(180,000) for a solo performer. Turner also
acted in the films Tommy(1975), Mad Max
Beyond Thunderdome(1985), and Last Action Hero (1993). In 1993, What's
Love Got to Do with It, a biopic adapted from
her autobiography I, Tina: My Life Story, was
released. In 2009, Turner retired after completing her Tina!: 50th
Anniversary Tour, which is the 15th highest-grossing tour of the 2000s. In 2018, she became the subject of the jukebox musical
Tina.
Having sold over 100 million records
worldwide, Turner is one of the best-selling
recording artists of all time. She has
received 12 Grammy Awards, which
include eight competitive awards, three Grammy Hall
of Fame awards, and a Grammy
Lifetime Achievement Award. She is the first black
artist and first female to be on the cover of Rolling Stone.
Rolling Stone ranked her among the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time and the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time.
She has a star on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame and the St. Louis
Walk of Fame. She is a two-time inductee into
the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame, with Ike Turner in 1991 and as
a solo artist in 2021. Turner is also a 2005 recipient of the Kennedy
Center Honors and Women of the
Year award.
