See Tina Turner's Most Iconic Looks Through the Years
Born in 1939, legendary singer Tina Turner (born Anna Mae Bullock) has been creating music since the late 1950s. First with her then-husband Ike Turner, topping charts with big hits like "Proud Mary," and then later soared to new heights in her solo career with iconic songs like "Private Dancer" and "The Best." Her early career and infamously abusive relationship with Ike is chronicled in the movie What's Love Got to Do With It (also the title of one of her most famous songs).
