From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tina Turner (born Anna Mae Bullock, November 26, 1939) is an American recording artist and actress. Born in Nutbush, Tennessee, Turner began her career as an entertainer performing as a back-up vocalist for Ike Turner. The two eventually married and became known as the recording duo Ike & Tina Turner. As a duo, Turner and her husband were regarded as "one of the most potent live acts on the R&B circuit during the '60s and early '70s." The Turners released an extensive amount of singles in the US and abroad, including "A Fool in Love", "River Deep-Mountain High", and their cover version of "Proud Mary".

Turner released her first solo album, Acid Queen (1975), while still a member of the duo. Shortly after, highly publicized marital problems between the couple eventually led to divorce and disbandment.
