After becoming famous alongside her fellow performer – and eventual husband – Ike Turner, the multi-hyphenate maintained a successful solo career. She released hits like “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” “The Best,” and “Proud Mary.”
Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame alongside Ike Turner in 1991, and again as a solo artist in 2021, she also received numerous awards including Grammies, American Music Awards, and VMAs.
