On the rock opera stage “Tommy” from WHO we see her Tina Turner call yourself “Acid Queen” and wear a red cape to seduce him (blind like Tommy) Roger Daltrey. She tosses it on the bed in the stuffy bedroom, and then the cloak gives way to armor. The armor opens, invoking the bewitched Daltrey into it, he enters, the armor closes and blood begins to flow through the veins of the android, with which the hero, who has succumbed to his charm, has now become one.

In addition to being recognized as one of the most inventive sex scenes without sex we’ve ever seen in a movie, the episode in question can also serve as a metaphor for how Tina Turner threw her magic potion on the world of pop and rock and went from RnB singer and wife to her own title “Queen of Rock and Roll” and one of the five to ten famous musical figures of the last century.

Because who does not recognize deep metal, but also male burr her voice which made her go the distance of RnB rock. But also fluffy wool she, characteristics grimaces when she sang, which made her look like a Mick Jagger woman, but also how abruptly she danced every time she was on stage – even if she claimed “Private Dancer” on her album of the same name – always in a miniskirt that showed off legs her, who claimed almost the same level of fame as her voice.

And then, as many liked “Proud Mary” because they learned it first from them Ike and Tina Turner instead of Creedence Clearwater Revival, who didn’t dance to it “What Love Can Do” trying to imitate Turner’s movements, and at some point did not begin to sing “Paulovia”. “The best” desire to cheer up a loved one.

Anna May Bullock turns into Tina Turner

Tina Turner, who died at the age of 83 after years of health problems, was not always called that – Tina was given to her husband Ike Turner from her comic book character. Cena, queen of the jungle.

The singer was born Anna May Bullock V 1939 in Brownsville, small town Tennessee. While still a schoolgirl, she went with her sister to the Manhattan Club in St. Louis. Ike Turner With Rhythm Kings. Until one night he came on stage and sang a B.B. King song.

He didn’t know it, but at that moment, Tina Turner was born. Ike and Tina Turner will be a couple on stage and in real life for the next few years, starting with their first hit together in 1960 piece “A Fool in Love” Soon, Turner will eclipse everyone with his voice and stage charm and become the cause of the duo’s great success. Along with things like “Love You”, “It’ll Be Fine”, “Nutbush City Limits”, but, of course, the summit meeting with Phil Spector V “The river is deep, the mountain is high.”

Of course, while they were writing the golden pages for RnB, Tina Turner had to deal with her husband’s infidelity and cocaine addiction, but also domestic violence, in the form of hot coffee and shoes that landed on her when she was pregnant. He managed not only to put an end to their common path 1976 (they are officially divorced 1978), but after a few years talk openly about your experience at a time when it was not only unheard of, but could even cost her her career.

The only thing that went on was surname Turner and two cars. And after a stunning solo start in the ’70s, Tina Turner made a powerful comeback. 80s build since then most of his legend and become a world star or otherwise, one of the most successful musicians of all time.

Golden 80s and “coronation”

Another great man played a decisive role in this, David Bowie what she told her people in 1983 Capitol Records that Tina Turner is his favorite singer. A year later, the company released their third solo album, The “Private Dancer” which was to become one of the most commercial and distinctive albums of the decade. And how could it not be, after all, when there were such tracks in it as an arrangement in “Let’s Stay Together” Al Green, but of course “What Love Can Do” After all, the first thing most of us think of when we hear the name Tina Turner is she herself dances and sings in a leather skirt and denim jacket in the video for the track.

The musician has just reached one of the strongest musical comebacks in history. The 80s belonged to her and she filled it with stage eroticism, singing along with names like Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart and of course, David Bowie. Recordings such as “Break All the Rules” (1986) and “Foreign Business” (1989), which contained an equally huge hit, “The best”.

When the 90s came, she was already “Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll” In fact, he entered Rock and Roll Hall of Fame V 1991 and continued to release music until 2000, when he left the record company, now resident Switzerland, where she remained for the rest of her life. In between, her life has evolved into a film (“What’s the Love In It”), a documentary (“Tina”), a musical (“Tina is a musical by Tina Turner”), and a Barbie doll figure.

Tina Turner will be remembered for many things. Her music, the way she stepped onto the stage as one of the sexiest creatures ever to pass by, the fact that she went from being a “black singer” to a worldwide icon of “white” rock, and her courage to talk about the most difficult.

I keep another image: a young lady who, paying tribute to her favorite singer, declared that “If it wasn’t for Turner, I don’t know what I would have done with my abusive marriage.”
