About Tina Turner

Tina Turner, born Anna Mae Bullock, was a singer and actress whose career spanned more than sixty years. She won numerous awards, including eight Grammys. Tina began her music career with her husband Ike Turner as a member of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. Success followed with a string of hits including “River Deep, Mountain High” and “Proud Mary.” She divorced Ike in 1978 and, after virtually disappearing from the music scene for several years, rebuilt her career, launching a string of hits including her 1984 solo album Private Dancer. In 1986, she published a bestselling memoir I Tina which was turned into the Academy Award-nominated film What’s Love Got to Do with It in 1993. One of the world’s most popular entertainers, Tina sold more concert tickets than any other solo music performer in history. She lived with her husband in Zurich, Switzerland until her death in 2023 at the age of eighty-three.

Quotes

"Rock legend Tina Turner begins and ends this audiobook with a powerful recording of her chanting. While moments from her life illustrate her path, her story focuses on her fifty-year practice of Buddhism. Narrator Adrienne Warren's tone is open and generous as she delivers Turner's teachings. Through tragedy, abuse, and health problems, Turner found strength in Buddhist chanting. Warren is especially suited to deliver Turner's audiobook, having played her on Broadway. Warren's voice is even and soothing, radiating so much positivity that one can often hear her smiling. Turner's coauthors, Taro Gold and Regula Curti, read an afterword detailing their spiritual relationship with her and how they helped the 80-year-old icon share her knowledge of Buddhism. A pdf glossary offers a refresher on the more academic aspects of this inspirational guide."
