Tina Turner (born Anna Mae Bullock; November 26, 1939), is an American-born Swiss recording singer, songwriter, dancer, actress, and author. Born and raised in the Southeastern United States, Turner relinquished her American citizenship after obtaining Swiss citizenship in 2013.

She began her career in 1958 as a featured singer with Ike Turners Kings of Rhythm, first recording under the name Little Ann.[1] Her introduction to the public as Tina Turner began in 1960 as a member of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue.[2] Success followed with a string of notable hits credited to the duo, including A Fool in Love,[3] River Deep – Mountain High (1966), Proud Mary (1971), and Nutbush City Limits (1973), a song which she herself wrote. In her autobiography, I, Tina, she revealed several instances of severe domestic abuse against her by Ike Turner prior to their 1976 split and subsequent 1978 divorce. Raised a Baptist, she encountered faith with Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism in 1971, crediting the spiritual chant of Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, which Turner claims helped her to endure during difficult times.[4] [5]

After her divorce from Ike Turner, she rebuilt her career through live performances. In the 1980s, Turner launched a major comeback with another string of hits, starting in late 1983 with the single Lets Stay Together followed by the 1984 release of her fifth solo album Private Dancer which became a worldwide success. The album contained the song Whats Love Got to Do with It, which became Turners biggest hit and won four Grammy Awards including Record of the Year. Her solo success continued throughout the 1980s and 90s with multi-platinum albums including Break Every Rule and Foreign Affair, and with singles such as We Dont Need Another Hero (Thunderdome), Typical Male, The Best, I Dont Wanna Fight and GoldenEye for the 1995 James Bond film of the same name. In 1993, Whats Love Got to Do with It was used as the title of a biographical film adapted from her autobiography, along with
