Tina Turner | 11/26/1939 | 82

It’s not like the musician remains in forgotten memory, but she is probably enjoying her life after decades of hard work. Not to mention that she is already in her 80s. She is considered the Queen of Rock N’ Roll and undoubtedly one of the greatest artists in the music industry. Anna Mae Bullock, her real name, was born on November 26, 1939, and though she had a rough childhood, her talent became her weapon to weather every challenge. Tina initially rose to fame as the lead singer of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. Later, she pursued a solo career and became the artist we know today.

Turner only had one chart-topping single, What’s Love Got to Do with It, but it gave her the envied Grammy Award for Record of the Year, one of 12 trophies to her credit. Other unforgettable tunes from her are We Don’t Need Another Hero and the song we played every night and day, Proud Mary.
