Tina Turner, born Anna Mae Bullock in 1939 and from Nutbush, sang like a hurricane and moved on stage like the floor was on fire. She first tore through the 1960s as the lead voice of Ike & Tina Turner, the husband-and-wife R&B act whose shows, with the Ikettes and the Kings of Rhythm behind them, were famously explosive: "A Fool in Love", "River Deep – Mountain High", "Proud Mary", "Nutbush City Limits".
She split from Ike in 1976 and started over alone, and after "Let's Stay Together" in 1983 she came roaring back with Private Dancer in 1984. "What's Love Got to Do with It" won Record of the Year at the 1985 Grammys and became her only number one on the Hot 100, and the top-ten hits kept coming: "Better Be Good to Me", "Private Dancer", "We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)", "Typical Male", "I Don't Wanna Fight". She sang the theme for the 1995 Bond film GoldenEye.
On the road she was unstoppable: her 1988 show in Rio de Janeiro set a Guinness World Record for the largest paying crowd for a solo artist at the time, and no tour in 2000 grossed more than her Twenty Four Seven Tour. She called time on performing in 2009 after the Tina!: 50th Anniversary Tour. With 12 Grammys and two trips into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, with Ike in 1991 and alone in 2021, the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll lived out her last years in Switzerland and died in Küsnacht in 2023.
