Grace Slick: You don't hassle with anybody in particular. You gotta keep your bodies off each other unless you intend love. People get weird, and you need people like the Angels to keep people in line. But the Angels also - you know, you don't bust people in the head - for nothing. So both sides are fucking up temporarily; let's not keep FUCKING UP!

Personal Life
When Tina’s parents heard her first cry, they were surprised by their daughter’s huge voice. The bloodlines of Blackie and American Indian did make it easy to make children with loud voices, but when she was as big as her, it seemed to be different. It's a different story.
Tina’s mother, Zilma, had to earn a living in the factory all day long, while Tina’s father, Floyd Richard Brock, had to be patient in the church for one stranger baby after another. After the baptism, after the ceremony, he would go to the farm and work as a supervisor to barely maintain the poor family. In such a poverty-stricken life, they naturally have no time to discover the musical talent of their little daughter. So Tina, with a loud voice, had to entertain herself and use her extraordinary talent to "disturb" the neighborhood, and it would be quite an "honour" if my sister Elekon watched her "performance". NS!
The life of Tina's family did not get better because of the emergence of a superstar soon. The only man in the family finally left the house overwhelmed, and his mother had to go out to work alone to make a living. The sisters who stayed at the grandmother's house became more isolated, and singing became the best way for them to vent. In 1954, the two sisters finally moved from their hometown of State of Tennessee to City of Saint Louis to reunite with their mother. Tina was 16 years old at the time. At this age of flowers, she happened to meet the man who could change her destiny — Ike Turner .
At that time, Eke was already the head of the "Kings of Rhythm" band (Kings of Rhythm). He was able to write songs and was good at instruments as early as 1951 with the record "Rocket 88" among The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum . The two met by chance. Tina, who grew up in solitude, seemed to see her own life, so she immediately asked Eck if she could sing for him. The proud man thought he heard a joke. , But under the little girl's repeated insistence, she got a chance. Naturally, the girl's explosive voice persuaded him to make her a member of his band. At this time, the girl still retains her original name Annie Mae Bullack (Annie Mae Bullack). And immediately Eke gave her a stage name that will be used for decades in the years to come—Tina. Of course, two years later he gave her his own surname "Turner" because they were married in the United Mexican States. NS.
In 1958, the two newly married Yaner formed their own band-The Ike & Tina Turner Revue (The Ike & Tina Turner Revue), as a testimony of love and success. And Tina, who is only 20 years old, did bring Eke more luck. In 1960, the singer who was supposed to sing "A Fool in Love" (A Fool in Love) did not show up for a long time, so Tina became a hit as a temporary replacement. This also opened the peak of their band, a series of songs such as: "Fools in Love", "Proud Mary" (Proud Mary), etc. have deeply influenced the youth of the time. The musical "River Deep Mountain High" co-created by the band has also become the most dazzling jewel in their musical crown.
With the changes in music trends, Tina began to add powerful dance to her singing, bringing the audience into one emotional climax after another. This was also the beginning of Tina's own signature performance style. But at the same time, Ek is increasingly lazy and passive compared to Tina's positive and upward. He has no intention of creating and is increasingly dependent on alcohol and stimulants. Tina, who has gradually overshadowed her husband's glory on the road of music, is now destined to endure a misfortune.
In 1974, Tina resolutely left Eke, who made her love and hate intertwined. At this moment, she has nothing, scars and debts. This is the cruelest and bleak time in her life, getting better or worse, this is a problem!
After entering the 1970s, Tina's success has become increasingly significant. But Eke, a former idol and mentor, is still doing nothing. In the mid-1970s, Eck's dependence on cocaine became more and more serious, and no outsiders were allowed to intervene in his music affairs. Their band became more and more isolated and naturally came to an end. Jealousy and imbalance made him extremely irritable, and alcohol and drugs also made him dehumanize. In both life and career, Eke must have absolute control over Tina. If something is wrong, he punches and kicks her: "Let me see your crying, I will beat you!" With a seemingly prosperous career, on one side is a hell-like family life, this Blackie woman from a conservative Christian family had to turn to Buddhism for help when she was desperate and on the verge of mental collapse . From the 1970s, Tina began her own Buddhist practice. Once, after Ek’s usual beatings on her, Tina fled to a restaurant alone. She said to the hotel manager with a blood-stained face: “I’m Tina Turner and I have no money now. If you can lend me one The room, I would be very grateful!" And this kind of violence and torture lasted for nearly 10 years.
In 1974, after another fierce quarrel, Tina finally plucked up the courage to leave the demonic man. At that time, she had only 36 cents and a Gas card on her body . In the following months, she hid everywhere, lived in turns at friends' houses, and lived on the relief food stamps issued by the government. When she met him, she happened to be the most beautiful 16 years old, and when she left him, their marriage also happened to have reached the unspeakable 16th year. It was not until 1978 that the court ruled that the two divorced. All the property they earned during their marriage was kept in Eke's name. All she took away was the name he gave her—Tina Turner!
The next days can be imagined. No one asked her to perform, and no one asked her to record records. The world suddenly excluded her. Alone, she can only live on the fame of the past; without a grand stage with infinite brilliance, she can only live by singing her old songs in nightclubs. The once most promising "roaring lioness" fell from a peak to a trough. In 1978, Tina released her first solo album "Rough" after breaking up with Eck. In this album, she changed her previous R&B style and turned to a strong rock style, but the sales of this album Not ideal. The album "Love Explosion" aimed at occupying the disco market in the following year also suffered a failure. So far no record company dared to come to her, and her financial situation began to become stretched. In order to survive, she had to act as the host of some entertainment shows as the object of jokes, and had to pretend to be "really stupid"! Such a gap and pressure have caused a lot of impact on her mind and body, but no matter how difficult it is, she has never made her give up her musical ideals: getting better or worse, this is a problem!
The opportunity for transshipment has finally arrived. In 1982, desperate Tina signed a contract with Capitol Records, and caused a sensation in Europe with a cover of Al Green's old song "Let's Stay Together" and achieved a miraculous career turnaround. The subsequent album "Private Dancer" was hurriedly completed within two weeks, but it made her become popular again. The singles "What's Love Got To Do with It" and "Private Dancer" both won the top of the charts and became The hottest song on both sides of the Atlantic. The album has sold nearly 15 million copies worldwide, and it is still one of the most popular albums in the world. This, of course, became Tina's most successful album, surpassing any of her works when she was with Eck. At the same time, the album also won her two Grammy Awards (record of the year and female pop singer of the year awards). In 1985, she also participated in a large-scale charity performance to aid Africa, and the charity song "We Are The World" with MJ became a classic.
At this time, Tina has successfully transitioned from R&B music to rock style, and with her 44-year-old "old age", she has swept all fans from teenagers to middle-aged. In addition to changing her singing style, she also changed her image drastically. It turned out that the sad and desperate divorced woman was replaced by a confident and sexy independent woman with lion-like blond hair and stiletto heels. She proudly stands at the top of the music pyramid, launching an unprecedented female rock shock wave to the world pop music scene!
From 1987 to 1988, Tina’s global tour was conducted in 25 countries for a total of 230 shows, attracting nearly 4 million viewers, which also made her the best-selling solo actress in global concerts. Despite the full schedule, Tina completed her autobiography "I, Tina" in 1986. In the book, she described in detail the tragic life of being beaten by her husband Eke in the early years: once her nose was broken and she had to accept a plastic operation .
She even tried to commit suicide many times without success. According to Tina, the last time she was beaten was in a Las Vegas car. The two fought each other in the back seat. After that, her nightmare was over. She said that it was the only time she fought back against her husband. In 1993, the film "What's Love Got To Do With It" (What's Love Got to Do with It?) based on Tina's autobiography was an unprecedented success. The male and female lead actors Laurence Fishburne and Angela Bessey have won awards for their roles in the play. The movie's theme song "I Don't Wanna Fight" also won the Grammy award for Tina again, and successfully squeezed into the top 10 of the "Top 100 Most Popular Songs" in the United States.
Compared with Tina's rebirth, Eke paid a heavy price for his mistakes. In 1989, he was sent to prison for 17 months for drug abuse. The vicious depiction of him in the movie "What's Love Got To Do With It" made him a demon in the rock industry. The success and brilliance of Eke and Tina are gone forever, leaving only endless pain and regret. Although he admitted to taking drugs, he has always denied beating his ex-wife. Later he confessed in a book published in 2001, "Yes, I slapped Tina, and sometimes I knocked her to the ground without even thinking about it, but I didn't beat her badly." Until December 2007 Eke passed away on the 12th, and his violent image has not dissipated in people's hearts. When Tina received the news of the death of her ex-husband, she only issued a brief statement through the agency: Tina already knew Eke had passed away earlier today. She has not been in contact with Eke for 35 years and will not comment on this.
For the man who changed her life, Tina chose to remain silent at the last moment.
Forty years of ups and downs in life and music have given Tina a taste of the world, but she still insists on using her non-stop singing to bring people the beautiful passion that has remained unchanged for decades! In the face of music and life, her unyielding rock spirit supported her to take on everything!
In the 1990s, Tina Turner became the undisputed "Queen of Rock and Roll", steadily holding 8 Grammy Awards, the world's highest tour fee and many other records, many film directors have also invited her to appear. Among them is the talented director Steven Allan Spielberg . At that time, he invited Tina to star in the heroine who would later become the classic movie " The Color Purple ", but because the script focused on the Blackie woman seeking self-independence after being beaten by her husband, the plot evoked Tina too much memory and was turned down. . The once desperate and downhearted woman never looked back, now she is so sexy, twisting "the world's best dancing calf", bringing the audience a dazzling and overwhelming show. When she danced on the stage, it seemed that Tina would always be only 16 years old!
In 2000, Tina's farewell performance "One Last Time" was held at Wembley Stadium in the United Kingdom . The stadium, which can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, was full of seats, and the excited audience even played a banner of "Tina, Will You Marry Me?" And when she stepped on the stage, it became a kingdom controlled by her, full of passion and sparks, which made countless young singers beyond reach! The big screen in the middle of the stage is also interspersed with precious videos of Tina's performances for decades, like a lively birthday party, and the boiling point of the stadium is the best birthday gift for Tina! From her 16-year-old youth, all the ups and downs, full of legends, and this performance in 2000 was a perfect farewell, like an undulating curve finally connected into The Circle . She proved to the world at the age of 62: Tina Turner is still the best rock singer in the world!
Tina finally "retired" after 2000, but she is still active in the public eye. In 2001, State of Tennessee National Highway 19 from her hometown of Brownville to Nutbush was officially named "Tina Turner Highway." On February 10, 2009, she and Beyoncé, a popular female singer , jointly performed her famous work "Proud Mary" at the 50th Grammy Awards. The 70-year-old Tina still did not give the young beauty any chance! Even Beyoncé himself said: “I have never seen such a powerful, fearless, and dazzling woman in my life!” In 2008, The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts awarded Tina the Lifetime Achievement, the highest hall of American artists. Award, and it was President Bush and his wife Laura who gave the medal to her personally.
Tina now owns many properties in Europe and the United States. She did not remarry, but settled in Europe with her 16-year-old boyfriend, a German-born EMI company manager, in a lakeside villa in the countryside of Zurich. . Occasionally they also go to Tina's hilltop villa near Nice, France, where they can overlook the entire Mediterranean. Poverty and suffering are far away, but Tina still has a respect for life. No matter how busy she is, she still maintains the habit of reciting Buddhist scriptures every day. Every time a reporter interviewed, she tirelessly thanked Buddhism and chanting for the boundless tranquility and immense power brought to her. It is this quiet introspection and self-improvement that made her find her self-esteem, walk out of the shadow of life, and jump out of the new color of her life!
