Tina Turner (born Anna Mae Bullock on November 26, 1939 in Nutbush, now Brownsville, Tennessee) is an American R&B, pop, rock and soul singer, Buddhist and occasional actress. She is well-known for her scorching performances with The Ike and Tina Turner Revue during the 1960s and 1970s, and best known for her remarkable solo comeback in the mid-1980s. Tina Turner is noted for her overpowering stage presence -- long legs, big hair, and powerful voice.

Anna Mae Bullock was discovered by Ike Turner, a noted pioneer of rock and roll, whom she later married. She began as an occasional vocalist in his show at the age of 18, but within a couple of years she not only had a new name, but was the spotlight of a popular soul revue led by Ike Turner and his Kings of Rhythm.
