Sad news today. Tina Turner passed away. She was 84.

Anna Mae Bullock was born at Brownsville, Tennessee. 

She began singing with her Church |Choir.

In 1956 she joined Ike Turner’s band under the name Little Ann.

Little Ann turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to

the Ike Turner Revue.

 BY 1960 Ike changed her name to Tina Turner and had the name

Trademarked just in case Tina left the band so another female singer

could use the name.

After Ike and Tina broke up, Tina went out on her own.

The rest is just musical history.

Tina became the Queen of Rock and Roll.

She lived in Switzerland for 25 years and in 2013 she

became a Swiss Citizen.

If you never saw a Tina Turner show… I hope this video will give you

an idea of the Power of her shows were for her audiences.

This video was produced three years ago in the Netherlands

 when Tina was 81.  It is such a powerful video.

Enjoy
