BEFORE being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist and selling more than 100 million records worldwide, only to then pass away following a string of illnesses, singer Tina Turner was born Anna Mae Bullock on November 26th, 1939 in Brownsville, Tennessee. Tina’s family lived in a rural and unincorporated part of Haywood County known as Nutbush, a community that would live on in infamy after she penned her song “Nutbush City Limits” later in life. But back in these early-days, Tina would describe her family as “well-to-do” farmers who lived modestly off the business of sharecropping. Unfortunately, Tina’s parents didn’t exactly set a sterling example of two people in love and were constantly at one another’s throats. Eventually, her mother left to live in St. Louis when Tina was 10. Three years later, he father left as well, so Tina was sent to live with her grandmother in Brownsville, Tennessee. Following high school, she picked up work as a nurse’s aide in the hopes of entering the medical profession. At night, Tina and her sister would head to nightclubs in St. Louis, which is where she saw a man named Ike Turner perform for the first time as the bandleader of “Kings of Rhythm”. Only 18-years-old, Tina became enamored with their music, coming back and time and time again to watch the band perform. One night, the drummer handed Tina the microphone and she took to the stage. The rest is history. Ike was so impressed by her ability that he invited her to be the group’s guest vocalist and began teaching her lessons on voice control as well as performance. Originally performing as “Little Ann”, she sang alongside Carlson Oliver on Ike’s “Box Top”, which became her first studio recording.
