After overcoming many family hardships, the late 50’s proved to be a time Anna Mae would blossom into the classic Tina Turner that would “wow” the world, performing shows for the next ten years with icon and fellow celebrity Ike Turner. Tina and Ike brought a show to America that was being compared to the spectacle of a James Brown performance, as the famed duo reached beyond legendary heights the downside soon reared its ugly head. As pressures on the couple mounted, the 70’s ended up in their divorce and a rebirth for Tina Turners’ career. Once again proving she could rise above her circumstances, she proved to the world she was more than just a faded star as her career bloomed into a rebirth in the 80’s, where she would star in major films and release more albums that would end up as an essential part of her “classics” catalog.
