Tina Turner News
Tina Turner News (Concert Tickets): Though it might sound odd at first, Tina Turner has actually had a lot of success as a dance music diva. Her dance hits date back as far as the first single from her 1984 comeback CD "Private Dancer". In 2007, Turner confirmed that she is working on a new dance music CD with Guy Chambers (Robbie Wiliams, Kylie Minogue). She announced a new tour during an appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show in May, 2008. Tina's story: After years of being a battered wife, Tina Turner left husband Ike in the mid-Seventies. In her divorce, she was granted only her name and had to pay back hundreds of thousands in lost concert revenues. She played gigs anywhere she could get them from Las Vegas to the seediest of hotels. In the late Seventies, she was signed by Roger Davies and, together, they set about working a plan to bring Tina back to the spotlight. When a track she recorded in the early Eighties with "Heaven 17" hit the charts, the label commissioned a full album. That CD was "Private Dancer" and the rest is history. The "spotlight" shone one triumphant night in 1985 when Tina went home. She appeared on stage at the Grammy Awards to perform her comeback hit "What's Love Got to Do With It" to the roaring approval of her peers. Tina had beat the odds and at 45 was a global superstar. Here is that performance: Thank you for visiting our Tina Turner News (Official Website) page. Return to Dance Music News. Return to Dance Music.
