Happy birthday to Tina Turner, born on this day in 1939!
A rock & soul queen from Nutbush, Tennessee, she ignited her powerhouse voice in St. Louis’ R&B clubs, teaming with Ike Turner as a teen before breaking free.
Her explosive albums like Private Dancer (1984) and hits “What’s Love Got to Do with It” and “Proud Mary” fused raw energy with triumphant spirit, earning twelve Grammys and the eternal title Queen of Rock ’n’ Roll.
