Editor's note

Tina Turner's voice could shake a room.

From soul revues to rock anthems, she rebuilt her sound on her own terms.

For the full picture, listen to "River Deep, Mountain High" and then "Private Dancer." The distance between those two songs tells you everything.

Her version of "River Deep, Mountain High" with Ike Turner is still a landmark of pure vocal power. Later, songs like "What's Love Got To Do With It" showed she could shape that force into something more personal and pop-wise. She even took on Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" in concert and made it sound like her own.

She started in the Ike & Tina Turner Revue in the 1950s and 60s. After leaving that partnership in 1976, she rebuilt as a solo artist, with the 1984 album Private Dancer marking her own rock and pop territory.

Archive material and source history

Tina Turner was born Anna Mae Bullock in Tennessee in 1939. She began performing in the 1950s with her then-husband Ike Turner as the Ike & Tina Turner Revue, where their version of "River Deep, Mountain High" became one of their defining recordings.

After leaving that partnership in 1976, she rebuilt her career as a solo artist. Her 1984 album Private Dancer included songs like "What's Love Got To Do With It" and "Private Dancer," which helped establish her as a rock and pop performer in her own right. She recorded "We Don't Need Another Hero" for the Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome soundtrack around the same period.

Her voice had a particular rasp and force that worked across soul, rock, and pop material. She performed "Whole Lotta Love" in concert, taking on Led Zeppelin's rock standard with her own intensity.
