Tina Turner, born on November 26, 1939 in Brownsville, Tennessee, was an American rock singer, actress and author. Known as 'The Queen Of Rock 'n' Roll', she possessed a powerful blues-soaked voice that captivated audiences worldwide. Turner's career took off in the 1960s with hits like "River Deep, Mountain High" alongside her husband at the time. Despite enduring years of abuse, she found the strength to separate from him and share her story in her autobiography "I, Tina". In the 1980s, producer Rupert Hine played a pivotal role in relaunching her career.

Turner made a remarkable comeback with singles such as "Let's Stay Together" and the album "Private Dancer", which propelled her back into mainstream success. She also showcased her acting skills as 'The Acid Queen' in "Tommy" and 'Aunt Entity' in "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome". Her single "We Don't Need Another Hero", featured in the film's theme song, became another chart-topping hit for Turner.

In 2008, after a period of semi-retirement, Turner embarked on her highly successful "Tina!: 50th Anniversary Tour", which became one of the biggest ticket-selling tours of that year. Revered by critics and fans alike, Rolling Stone magazine hailed Turner as "One of the greatest singers of all time." Her talent reached unprecedented

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 on-stage as lead singer of the Ike and 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.&nbsp;
