Songs such as "A Fool in Love," "Proud Mary," and her own "Nutbush City Limits" made her one of the most commanding live performers of her era.

After leaving an abusive marriage and professional partnership with Ike Turner, Tina rebuilt her life and career on her own terms.

Her 1984 album "Private Dancer" became a worldwide triumph, and "What's Love Got to Do with It" gave her a defining solo anthem.

She followed it with major tours, film roles, bestselling memoirs, and a public story of survival that became as influential as the music itself.

Known widely as the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll, Tina Turner received multiple Grammy Awards, a Kennedy Center Honor, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and two Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductions: first with Ike Turner in 1991 and again as a solo performer in 2021.

In later life she made Switzerland her home with her husband Erwin Bach.
