Stephanie Sy:
She was the undisputed queen of rock 'n' roll, a Black woman who conquered every stage with unleashed sexuality, power, and raw emotion.
In a career spanning eight decades, Tina Turner sold more than 100 million records, won 12 Grammys and in 2021 was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Born in the Tennessee Delta, Turner rose to fame with Ike Turner. The Ike and Tina Turner Revue broke out with a bevy of hits, including "Proud Mary."
Turner's soulful rasp and stage presence enthralled fans. But, behind the scenes, she was a victim of domestic abuse. Turner endured more than a decade of husband Ike Turner's beatings and infidelity. The late Ike once broke her jaw. Years later, she explained why she stayed as long as she did in the relationship to Australian "60 Minutes."
