The Rolling Stones had a great influence on Tina Turner's career. First in 1966, with the success of River Deep - Mountain High in England, Ike & Tina were invited to perform with them as an opening act for their UK tour. Three years later, they asked Ike & Tina again to open their American tour in November 1969, which gave them a higher profile among young rock audiences.
After the split from Ike, Tina worked on her solo career with her manager Roger Davies and covered many of their songs in her concerts. In 1981, The Rolling Stones were on tour in America to promote their current album „Tattoo You“ and invited Tina once again to open their concerts on three dates. Beside her own set as an opening artist, she duetted also with Mick Jagger.
After Tina’s comeback, she worked many times with Mick and Keith, amongst others at the Live Aid Festival in 1985, her Break Every Rule Tour in 1988, the Rock’n Roll Hall of Fame and the International Rock Award in 1989.
