Features > * 4 THE GAMECOCK Wednesday, November 4, 1987 Rock 'n' ro to bring hits By FIRDOUa BAMJI Assistant features editor Tina Turner is bringing her latest album, Break Every Rule, to Carolina Coliseum Sunday, and at 48, she still never fails to baffle, perplex and please. When she walked out on husband Ike Turner in 1975, it seemed as if one of the strongest voices in rhythm and blues was going to fall silent. Everyone knew Turner's husband was the key to the band's success, writing a lot of the music, choreographing the vibrant sta?e shows and taking care of business. For a while after that, Turner played a rigorous night club circuit around the world with spiked high heels and shilling cowboy tasslcs, shaking her way through Australia, the Middle Bast and Europe. "Everybody thought 1 was struggling," said Turner. "But 1 was having a good time." Finally, in 1982 she was invited to join vocals on British group Heaven 17's "Ball of Confusion" which brought her to London. That was the beginning of a fiuitful relationship, and Heaven 17's Greg Walsh and Martin Ware later produced Turner's cover of A1 Green's "Let's Stay Together" on Capitol Records, which hit the Top 10 in England, sold a million copies in the U.S. and spawned a sell-out European tour.

But the leggy rock star's roots go deep into the St. Louis rhythm-and-blues scene, where she first started. Turner was born Anna Mae Bullock in Tennessee on Nov. 26, 1939. Eighteen years later her sister was dating a member of Ike Turner's Kings of Rhythm, and soon Tina had convinced Ike to let her sing for him. Jointly they put out some classic tunes such as her debut, "A Fool In Love," which she sang the lead on because another of the singers didn't make it to the recotding session, "River Deep, Mountain High," "Come Together" and a Grammy awardwinning version of Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Proud Mary." But while still belting out some heavily bluesoriented material, she was tilting toward rock 'n' roll,and some may recall her portrayal of the Acid Queen in the movie version of The Who's rock opera Tommy. /\ uecauc auer tommy, sue lanueu ncr secona screen role as Aunty Entity in George Miller's Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, playing opposite Mel Gibson, and the movie's soundtrack offered g challenge on n important thing to remember is that u don't fall far.

Later, in 1985, Turner joined a choir of celebrities to sing in USA For Africa's "We Are The World," also donating her own track, "Total Control," to the album. Amidst an incredibly packed schedule of live performances. Turner worked on her autobiography, I, Tina, with Rolling Stone writer Kurt I.oder, which was published in the U.S. by the William Morrow company. In early 1986, Turner went back to Europe to make her latest LP, Break Every Rule, collaborating with Grammy winning songwriters Terry Britten and Graham Lyle ("What's Love Got To Do With It") on five tracks. On the first single of the album, "Typical Male," Phil Collins contributed the drum line. Steve Winwood played synthesizer for "Afterglow." The LP also includes the eerie track "Girls " written by David Bowie; "Back Where You Started" by Bryan Adams; and "Overnight Sensation" written and produced by Dire Strait's A driving force Mark Knopfler. So now, while the man she seemed totally I creatively and professionallydependent on has lost K his fortune and become 'the man Tina Turner ^ divorced,' she is entrenched waist deep in hit songs i and is arguably the reigning queen of rock.
