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.

Capitol Records had re-discovered a gold mine
and raked it in in 1984 with the release of the multiplatinum
Private Dancer, an album brimming with
hit singles, including the Grammy award-winning
"What's Love Got To Do With It?"
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.

another hit, "We Don't Need Another Hero."
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. [
