Actress: Headlines! What Do the headlines say? I’ve been making it. Is it Ike and Tina or is it Tina Turner? She’s got another hit song.

Singing: Reading the headlines
What do they say about you and me?
Reading the headlines
Since you’ve been gone
I’ve been making it on my own.

Announcer: This very day, Tina Turner is still in the headline news. Now on Broadway, there’s a Tina Turner Musical-based on the rock and roll icon. She’s the Queen of Rock n Roll.

Turner began her career with Ike Turner’s King of Rhythm in 1957. Under the name Little Ann, she appeared on her first record, “Boxtop”, in 1958. In 1960, she was introduced as Tina Turner with the hit duet single “ A Fool in Love”. The duo Ike & Tina Turner became one of the most formidable live acts in history. They released hits such as Its Gonna Work Out Fine, River Deep - Mountain High, and Proud Mary.

Everybody knows about the kind of Relationship Ike and Tina Turner had. Tina left her husband and in the 1980’s Turner launched one of the greatest comebacks in music history. Her 1984 multi-platinum album Private Dancer contained the hit song What’s Love Got To Do With It, which won the Grammy Award for the Record of the Year and became her first and only No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. At age 44, she was the oldest female artist to top of the Hot 100.

Her chart success continued with We Don’t Need Another Hero which appeared in the 1985 film Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome which starred Tina Turner and Mel Gibson. And there were other songs like Private Dancer, I don’t want to fight No More, and Golden Eye which was the theme for the 1995 James Bond film, Golden Eye.

Tina did well with her comeback, and she has done it all without Ike, and she’s still making some headlines today.
