Tina Turner (born Anna Mae Bullock on November 26, 1939) is a Grammy Award-winning American pop/rock singer, Buddhist and occasional actress.

Born in Nutbush (now Brownsville, Tennessee), of African American, Navajo, and Cherokee ancestry. At age 16, she moved to St. Louis, Missouri and became well-known for her high energy performances with The Ike and Tina Turner Revue during the 1960s and 1970s.

She is, however, best known for her solo comeback in the mid-1980s. Turner is noted for her overpowering stage presence—long legs, big hair, and raspy voice. She is often referred to as the “Queen of Rock & Roll.”

She possesses a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in the 1990s. In addition, she is a member of the St. Louis Walk of Fame. She is also the winner of seven Grammy Awards thus far.

Her boyfriend is German Record Executive, Erwin Bach. Tina lives with him in Switzerland.
