Born November 26, 1939 in Nutbush, Tennessee, Tina Turner began her career alongside Ike Turner, her first husband, first with the Kings of Rhythm, then as part of the duo Ike and Tina Turner from 1960.

The musical duo and couple separated in 1976, their relationship souring over the years with the increasingly short-tempered behavior of Ike Turner, a violent, cocaine-addicted man who beat up his wife for 20 years. The couple will officially divorce in 1978.
Without a producer and penniless, the beginning of his solo career will be rather bumpy. In 1978, she launched her third solo album, Rougha first since his split with Ike Turner, but sales will not live up to expectations, just like for the next one, Love Explosion (1979).
With Private Danceran album offered to her in 1984, Tina Turner will return to grace, finally resuming success at the age of 45. What’s Love Got to Do With It will become the most famous single of his entire career and will earn him the Grammy for best recording of the year in 1985.

What’sLove Got To Do With It, and her hoarse and powerful voice, she gives voice to millions of women on the planet who suffer like them from domestic violence. It goes beyond its musical significance, it has a social significance. “,”text”:”With her songs, especially What’sLove Got To Do With It, and her hoarse and powerful voice, she gives voice to millions of women on the planet who suffer like them from domestic violence.
