Tina Turner Biography
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
