She is still a sex symbol today, at almost 55 years. With twenty, she married Ike Turner and until 1974 the couple enjoyed an unprecedented career and recorded around 30 LPs. Over the years, Tina Turner developed from being an attractive eye-catcher to being a more desirable part of the band. Her extraordinary voice and her intoxicating stage presence thrilled the fans. After the separation from Ike in 1984, the rock singer, then already 46 years of age, achieved a furious comeback with the album Private Dancer. Since then, Tina is an absolute world star. In this illustrated book, Katja Röcker recounts Tina Turner's eventful career.
