She worked as a domestic worker for the Henderson family
when she was a teenager. While she was at work, she got the news that her
half-sister, Evelyn died in a tragic car accident alongside her cousins,
Margaret and Vela Evans.

After the death of her grandmother, Tina moved to St Louis
and spent most of her time at Club Manhattan. She was also involved in the
R&B scene, becoming famous in the show “Kings of Rhythm.”

In 1960, she got an opportunity to sing a song called “A
Fool in love” in the absence of the lead singer; the recording of her song was
sent to a New York radio station and was released under the moniker “Ike and
Tina Turner.”

She received massive success through her 1984 album,
“Private Dancer.” She continued delivering masterpiece after masterpiece, and
was inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991. Later, she became part of

Marriage
with Ike

Earlier, Tina had a very platonic relationship with Ike. She
described her early relationship with Ike Turner as a “brother and sister from
another lifetime.” Later, their relationship grew stronger and they became
intimate. After their song “A Fool in Love,” they rose to popularity and
ultimately got married in Tijauna, Mexico in 1962.

They had a son named Ronnie after two years. The couple
raised four sons together, one from Tina’s earlier relationship, and two from
an earlier fling of Ike’s.

Her relationship with Ike wasn’t like any normal couple; she
faced betrayal, abuse, deception, and torture to an extent where she couldn’t
tolerate it anymore. Ike was promiscuous and abusive throughout their marriage,
which even led Tina to her suicide attempt by overdosing on Valium pills in
1968.

During an interview with a media organization she said, “It
was my relationship with Ike that made me most unhappy. At first, I had really
been in love with him. Look what he had done for me. But he was totally unpredictable.”

Eventually, Tina filed for divorced on July 27, citing
irreconcilable differences.

singer had a form of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from the domestic
abuse she suffered by her ex-husband and music partner, Ike Turner.

Recalling her experience, Tina said, “It wasn’t good life.
The good did not balance the bad.”

“I had an abusive life, there’s no other way to tell the
story. It’s a reality. It’s a truth. That’s what you have got, so you have to
accept it.”

as a mother. He was 59 when he died so tragically, but he will always be my
baby.”
