Tina Turner Simply The Best For more than seven decades Tina Turner has been one of the most successful and recognizable entertainers in the world. The powerful singer and performer was an unforgettable force, bringing enjoyment to fans all over the world. Born Anna Mae Bullock in Brownsville Tennessee, she began her career in the late 1950’s while attending High School when she began singing with Ike Turner and his band the Kings of Rhythm. At first she only sang part time in the background, but it didn’t take long before she became the bands star attraction. The group was soon renamed the Ike and Tina Turner Revue. They continually toured the country working the “Chitlin’ Circuit” and small bars and clubs. After a string of soul hits they crossed over to the pop world in a big way after working with legendary producer Phil Spector. In the late 1960’s they had several major hits such as “Proud Mary” and “River Deep--Mountain High.” Tina’s unique voice, dancing and dynamic energy on stage made her a favorite among rock stars and fans as well. She is in fact also known as the “Queen of Rock and Roll.”
