Legendary singer Tina Turner went to heaven, the eternal memory of a great woman
Tina Turner is now. No longer with us. Yesterday, May 24, 2023, it became known that the singer died. She was 83 years old, and during this time she managed to reach great heights. The world-famous artist has walked a thorny path to fame. Today we want to honor the memory of the deceased star and remember its main achievements.
GettyImages Tina Turner is now Anna May Bullock (real name of the singer) was born into a simple family of factory workers. When she was 10 years old, her parents divorced. The upbringing of the girl and her older sister was taken up by her grandmother. The craving for music Tina appeared in those years. She sang at school, and at the age of 14 she started going to nightclubs with her sister.
It was there that the future singer met a man who radically changed her life. He was a musician and producer Ike Turner, who is now called one of the founders of rock and roll. First, Tina persuaded Ike to let her sing at a club. Although he didn’t like the idea, he agreed and began to perform with her. Anna was only 18 at the time.
GettyImages But the girl dreamed of more. She wanted to record a song at Turner's studio. He broke for a long time and refused her. However, at one point, fate smiled at Anna May. One of the guest vocalists could not come to the recording to Ike. And then he decided to record the vocals of his new friend.
The result amazed him so much that he came up with a stage name for the girl, frowned on her and very soon proposed his hand and heart. Thus began the career and family life of the future legend.
By the time Ike and Tina got married, they had four sons. Two from the past relationships of a man, one son a woman gave birth to Raymond Hill, a saxophonist from the group of Ike. Another child is already in a relationship. He is the only son of a singer and producer.
At first, the career of the singer was just great. The popularity of the Ike and Tina Turner Review grew. Musicians recorded successful songs that hit the world charts. The tour made a lot of money. But at some point, everything started to crack at the seams.
All organizational matters were always handled by Ike. However, the harmful habits of men affected both professional activities and personal relationships. Everyone in the group was constantly fighting, which was a terrible turnover. Backup singers just didn't want to work in that atmosphere. Because of all this, the popularity of the band gradually fell.
GettyImages Also, Ike was a real tyrant at home. He held his hand on Tina throughout the marriage. She endured for a long time, but living with such a person was simply unbearable. The mother took the children and simply ran away without a livelihood. For six months, the singer was hiding from his friends.
The singer filed for divorce, which Ike happily accepted. However, he tried to accuse his ex-wife of bringing up children badly and they should live with him. He failed to prove it, and their paths diverged.
The singer escaped from her husband in the midst of another tour. So she needed money to pay the tour organizers a penalty. She began singing alone and also appeared on television in various shows. Tina released her first solo album without Ike and then went on a world tour.
For several years, the popularity of Tina in the United States was quite mediocre, while in Europe the singer was almost idolized. Of course, Turner wanted recognition at home. And she worked hard for that. In 1983, the single "Let's Stay Together" blew up the European charts, and then moved to the American charts.
Success came to Tina, and the label Capitol Records revised their views on the artist and invited her to record an album. Then came the single "What's Love Got to Do With It?", which began to play on more than a hundred American radio stations.
GettyImages World hit pumped the future album of the singer. Private Dancer was released in June 1984 and has since sold more than 11 million copies worldwide. The resounding return of Tina Turner to the big stage has entered the history of musical art. She was the singer who revived her career.
The crushing success of the album opened the way for Tina to cinema. She was offered a role in Mad Max 3. Then the singer was showered with musical awards. In the history of her career, she received 8 Grammy statuettes and the honorary title of Queen of Rock and Roll.
In addition, Tina danced beautifully, due to which her concert shows looked simply luxurious. The singer was in the top ten best dancers in the world. And the famous music magazine Rolling Stone called her one of the greatest singers of our time.
Without a doubt, this Tina will remain in the hearts of millions of fans around the world. Bright memory!
