Tina Turner

American-Swiss singer, dancer and actress, a pop icon known as the "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll," noted for her enormous talent, unstoppable energy, gravelly vocals, sensuality and swagger along with world-class long legs. She began her career with Ike Turner in 1957 then as the Ike & Tina Turner Revue, 1960-1976. Their hits included "River Deep – Mountain High", "Proud Mary", and "Nutbush City Limits." In the 1980s, Turner, now a solo performer, 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 number-one song on the Billboard Hot 100. Her chart success continued with "Better Be Good to Me", "Private Dancer", "We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)", "The Best", "I Don't Wanna Fight", and "GoldenEye".

Turner acted in the films Tommy (1975) and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985). In 1993, What's Love Got to Do with It, a biographical film adapted from her 1987 autobiography I, Tina: My Life Story, was released. In 2009, Turner retired after completing her "Tina!: 50th Anniversary Tour," which was the 15th-highest-grossing tour of the 2000s. In 2018, she became the subject of the jukebox musical Tina.
