The Real T. (1998)

Everyone knows the story of Tina's abusive marriage to Ike Turner and of her remarkable struggle to escape and build a new life, but nobody knew Tina’s story during those years like Eddy Armani. For twenty-two years, Eddy was present for all of it. Over the many years they lived and traveled together, Eddy witnessed Tina’s climb from near poverty to the glamorous life of a major celebrity. As Tina’s fame grew, the way she handled matters changed too and she became increasingly tough and uncompromising, not necessarily in a negative way. The public knew Tina Turner as a survivor and a beloved musician, but no one saw the whole truth. In this book, Eddy reveals Tina as she has never been seen before and gives us an incredible insight into the mind of a great performing artist.
