"The real power behind whatever success I have now was something I found within myself--something that's in all of us, I think, a little piece of God just waiting to be discovered." -Tina Turner

From the Back Cover
The dramatic and spectacular story of an American music icon—the immortal Tina Turner!
From Nutbush, Tennessee, to Hollywood stardom; from Ike’s Kings of Rhythm to onstage with Mick Jagger and the Stones; and from the lowest lows to the highest highs, Tina Turner has seen it, done it, suffered it, and survived it all. In her monumental bestseller I, Tina—the basis for the Academy Award-nominated motion picture What's Love Got to Do with It—she tells it like it really was . . . and really is. This book is a superstar's honest and intimate account of struggle and pain, love and abuse, glory and tragedy, and one of the greatest comebacks in music history.
About the Author
Tina Turner was one of the world's most beloved performers, with a career spanning 60 years. She has sold over 100 million albums worldwide and won 12 Grammys, including 3 Grammy Hall of Fame awards and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. She was a two-time inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors award. After early success with hit songs such as “River Deep—Mountain High” and “Proud Mary,” her well-publicized hardships and abusive marriage to fellow musician Ike Turner forced her to disappear from the music scene. In the late 1970s, she reemerged on the world stage after her divorce from Turner and rose up to recreate her career with a string of megahits including her 1984 album Private Dancer. Her life inspired the 1993 Academy Award-nominated film What’s Love Got to Do with It and in 2018 she became the subject of the Broadway musical, Tina. She passed away in May 2023 at her home in Switzerland.
