Tina Turner was Born in Brownsville, Tennessee, and raised in Nutbush, just like the song says, and was in recording sessions as early as 1953 when she was barely a teenager.

In 1958 she married guitarist and bandleader, Ike Turner, and in the 1960's they recorded a string of hits, including "A Fool In Love" and "It's Gonna Work Out Fine".  The recording of the ground breaking "River Deep, Mountain High " with producer Phil Spector was a monster hit in Europe and the start of Tina's superstar status.
 
The 70's brought hits such as "Proud Mary" and Tina's self-penned "Nutbush City Limits", but the marriage was disintegrating due to Ike's abusive behavior and after starring in The Who's 1976 film of "Tommy", Tina was ready to strike out on her own. 
 
As the massively successful film "What's Love Got To Do With It" would later depict, she had to haul her way up a mountain of debts and disinterest but in 1982 she landed a solo deal with Capitol Records and by the summer of '84 the album "Private Dancer", with its acclaimed singles "Let's Stay Together" and "What's Love Got To Do With It", was on its way to world sales of 11 million and 4 Grammys.
 
Since that time the successes have just kept coming: a starring role in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, David Bowie, Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger and Italian superstar, Eros Ramizotti amongst others; a best-selling autobiography, 'I, Tina'; which was made into the critically acclaimed film "What's Love Got to Do with It ", chronicling her life and receiving two Academy Award nominations; a string of hit albums and awards; and sell-out world tours.
 
In 2004 Tina released her last album, a compilation of Greatest Hits with the newly recorded single "Open Arms". It was a worldwide hit, debuting at #2 in the US charts. 
In 2005 Tina was honoured as one of Oprah Winfrey's legends, African-American women who broke barriers through their work, and ended the year as one of the recipients in Washington DC of the Kennedy Center Honors, the highest form of recognition of excellence in the arts in America.
 
In February this year, Tina performed with Beyoncé at the 50th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. She electrified the audience and received a standing ovation for her performance and duet with Beyoncé, and garnered highly positive reviews in the press. It was due to this overwhelming reaction, and requests from fans all over the world to perform live once again, that she has decided to do some select concerts in North America and Europe.
 
With sales of 170 million albums and a phenomenal number of hit records to her career (River Deep, Mountain High, Proud Mary, What's Love Got To Do With It, Better Be Good To Me, Typical Male, What You See is What You Get, Steamy Windows, We Don't Need Another Hero, Goldeneye, The Best ...) Tina Turner is the most successful female rock artist of all time and the undisputed Queen of Rock N Roll.

Tina Turner is the most successful female rock artist of all time and the undisputed Queen of Rock N Roll.

The most dynamic female soul singer in the history of the music, Tina Turner oozed sexuality from every pore in a performing career that began the moment she stepped onstage as lead singer of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue in the late '50s. Her gritty and growling performances beat down doors everywhere, looking back to the double-barreled attack of gospel fervor and sexual abandon that had originally formed soul in the early '50s. Divorced from Ike in the mid-'70s, she recorded only occasionally later in the decade but resurfaced in the mid-'80s with a series of hit singles and movie appearances; her high-profile status was assured well into the '90s.

Born Annie Mae Bullock near Brownsville, TN, she began singing as a teen, and joined Ike Turner's touring show as an 18-year-old backup vocalist. Just two years later, Tina was the star of the show, the attention-grabbing focal point for an incredibly smooth-running soul revue headed by Ike and his Kings of Rhythm. The couple began hitting the charts in 1960 with "A Fool in Love," and notched charting singles throughout the '60s, though the disappointing position of "River Deep-Mountain High" -- cited by Phil Spector as one of his best productions -- was very hard to take. All expectations were filled in 1971 with "Proud Mary," a number four hit which became the capstone of Ike & Tina's Revue. Frustrated by Ike's increasingly irrational behavior, though, Tina walked out just three years later.

She celebrated her new-found freedom in 1975 with a role in the film version of The Who's Tommy. Playing the Acid Queen, she delivered an outrageous, all-too-brief performance in an otherwise forgettable mistake of a movie. Several albums were recorded for United Artists during the late '70s, but she appeared to be washed up by the turn of the decade. Surprisingly, Tina returned in 1983, first teaming with a Heaven 17 project named BEF on a remake of the Temptations' "Ball of Confusion." Tina's vocal offering was understandably apocalyptic, and she gained a solo deal with Capitol that same year. Her first single, a cover of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together," hit the Top 30 early in 1984. Second single "What's Love Got to Do With It" became one of the year's biggest hits, spending three weeks at number one. Her album Private Dancer included two more Top Ten singles, the title track and "Better Be Good to Me." With another movie role in 1985 (Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome), she found a number two hit with its theme, "We Don't Need Another Hero." Her next big hit followed in 1986 ("Typical Male"), after which Tina began to decline, still charting occasionally and selling respectably with albums including 1989's Foreign Affair, 1996's Wildest Dreams, and 2000's Twenty Four Seven. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
