Tina Turner, also known as the “Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” was known as a powerhouse vocalist and performer whose career spanned over five decades. Born Anna Mae Bullock in rural Tennessee, she began her career by singing in church choirs. She later rose to fame in the 1960s as the frontwoman of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. Their hits, such as “River Deep – Mountain High” and “Proud Mary,” earned their place in music history.
Turner sold over 100 million records during her career, and also became a feminist through daring fashion choices, a cultural icon, and inspired millions with her resilience and talent. She retired in 2009, leaving behind a lasting legacy as one of the greatest performers in music history.
