Tina Turner

The musical career for the daughter of working parents, Anna May, began in St. Louis, where in one of the nightclubs she met bluesman Ike Turner and asked to join him to sing along. When Ike was recording the single A Fool In Love in 1960 and his singer did not appear, Anna sang for her, and the song became a major hit in the United States. Shortly thereafter, Ike Turner married Anna and proposed her stage name Tina - and so Tina Turner, vocalist of The Ike & Tina Turner Revue, appeared. The group was a great success as Tina began to develop her stage talents and soon became one of the most impressive women on stage in the 1960s. Ike and Tina released the hit River Deep, Mountain High, covered Proud Mary, the Creedence Clearwater Revival song, and earned a Grammy for Best R&B Performance.
