Tina Turner (born Anna Mae Bullock; November 26, 1939) is an eight time Grammy Award-winning American singer-songwriter, dancer, sex symbol, best selling author and an NAACP Image Award winning actress.

She was listed on Rolling Stone's list The Immortals --- The Greatest Artists of All Time.

Turner's world tour Break Every Rule Tour had record breaking ticket sales, visited by over four million fans.

Turner also beat out The Rolling Stones by touring Europe with 121 shows during her sold out Foreign Affair Tour in 1990.

It was the highest grossing tour of the year and is the 5th biggest grossing tour in America ever.

Turner was born Anna Mae Bullock in Nutbush, Tennessee, the daughter of Zelma (née Currie), a factory worker, and Floyd Richard Bullock, a Baptist deacon, farm overseer and factory worker.

She is of African-American, European, and Native American descent. Turner long believed her mother had significant Native American ancestry. But the results of a DNA test featured on African American Lives 2 showed Turner was only 1% Native American.

Turner and her elder sister, Alline Bullock, were abandoned by their father and temporarily by their mother.

Turner attended Flag Grove School in Haywood County, Tennessee.

In 1960, when a singer scheduled to record the song, "A Fool In Love", didn't appear, Bullock stepped in and recorded the vocals instead.

"A Fool In Love" was a huge R&B hit for Tina Turner reaching #2 crossing over to the top 30 of the US pop chart.
