Tina Turner Concerts Setlist

Born in the small city of Brownsville, in the US, Anna Mae Bullock, also known by her stage name, Tina Turner, the "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll," was a world-famous singer who achieved huge success with her solo career and with the Ike Turner's band of 1956.

Tina is the youngest daughter of Floyd Richard Bullock and Zelma Priscilla. Raised in the small city of Nutbush, she grew up in a rural community where her father oversaw sharecroppers at a farm. Turner has fond memories of picking cotton with her family during her early years.

Tina, who at that time was just a young and very brave girl named Anna Mae Bullock, and her sister often went to clubs to perform. Witnessing Ike Turner's musical prowess, left a big impression on her, which led to a fateful moment when she took the stage and impressed Ike with her unique singing style. Nobody knew back then, but this important meeting was the beginning of her journey as a featured vocalist with Ike Turner's band, and the beginning of many good things that were about to happen.

Tina Turner emerged with the name introduced alongside the hit single "A Fool in Love" in 1960, reaching high positions on the music charts. The group's success continued with "It's Gonna Work Out Fine," which earned them a Grammy nomination.

After going separate ways with Ike Turner in the mid-70s, Tina had many financial difficulties and personal struggles. She then, appeared on TV shows and resumed touring to settle debts accrued from canceled gigs.

Back at that time, one executive named Mike Stewart provided financial assistance, which enabled Tina to relaunch her career with new costumes by Bob Mackie and a series of cabaret performances in Las Vegas. Tina's solo concert tour in Australia in 1977 marked a significant milestone in her independent musical journey.

In 1984, Tina Turner reached the top of the mainstream with her first and only No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, named "What's Love Got to Do with It". But this wasn't the end of Tina's success; "Better Be Good to Me" and "Private Dancer," were also big hits at that time. Tina's collaboration with David Bowie on "Tonight" brought her to a even higher spot.

In 2004, Tina unveiled "All the Best," a chart-topping album that debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in 2005, marking her highest-charting album in the United States. This successful release achieved platinum status in the US within three months and replicated this accomplishment in seven other countries, including the UK.

Unfortunately, the pop legend Tina Turner has died aged 83 after a long illness. But her success is still alive, and will be forever. Tina sold over 100 million records globally and earned a huge amount of prizes and nominations, including 12 Grammy Awards and inductions into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Tina made history as the first black artist and woman to grace the cover of Rolling Stone. Recognized by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice and honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
