Tina Turner, the American-born singer who left a hardscrabble farming community and abusive relationship to become one of the top recording artists of all time, died on Wednesday at the age of 83.
Sometimes nicknamed the"Queen of Rock 'n' Roll," Turner won six of her eight Grammy Awards in the 1980s. Tina's story is not one of victimhood but one of incredible triumph. She's transformed herself into an international sensation - an elegant powerhouse. Her father worked as an overseer on a farm and her mother left the family when the singer was 11 years old, according to the singer's 2018 memoir"My Love Story." As a teenager, she moved to St. Louis to rejoin her mom.
Ike and Tina Turner bounced between record labels, owing much of their commercial success to a relentless touring schedule. Their biggest hit was a cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival's"Proud Mary."
