Tina Turner

Songwriter: Kenny O’Dell Larry Henley

It's alright with me if it's alright with you
It's alright I know your love will see me through
When the car won't start, the rain won't stop
And all of the bills are due
It's alright with me if it's alright with you

Well, the boss man rides me all week long
And it's all that I can take
I work each day till' the sun is gone
And no time for a break

But when I get home you rub my back
And tell me I'm your man
With a little love I get back on track
And do it all over agian

It's alright with me if it's alright with you
It's alright I know your love will see me through
When the car won't start, the rain won't stop
And all of the bills are due
It's alright with me if it's alright with you

No matter what life throws at me
I've got the upper hand
'Cause nothin' else can set me free
The way your lovin' can

If I lived in the shack out in the woods
And never see me blue
I just throw another log in the old wood stove
And make sweet love to you

It's alright with me if it's alright with you
It's alright I know your love will see me through
When the car won't start, the rain won't stop
And all of the bills are due
It's alright with me if it's alright with you

Often dubbed the Queen of Rock & Roll, Tina Turner is arguably among the most iconic of female divas in history, with her prolific career and memorable personality as a performer and a public figure. Hailing from a small town in Tennessee, and born Anna Mae Bullock, Turner has cemented herself as one of music’s greatest entertainers.

Turner’s career in music arose from her frequenting of nightclubs near St. Louis, where she would meet her soon-to-be husband Ike Turner, who would also give her the alias “Tina”. With Ike, she would form the famous Ike And Tina Turner Revue. A dynamic, explosive R&B ensemble, the two became the definition of the genre in the late 60s and early 70s, where R&B/Soul had only tiptoed into the realms of the mainstream. A particularly influential act in popularizing the genre, the Revue went on to release some of music’s most memorable and iconic tracks – a cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Proud Mary”, the Phil Spector-penned “River Deep – Mountain High”, and the electric “Nutbush City Limits”. After a host of drug and abuse problems on Ike’s part, with the male Turner eventually engaging in a violent altercation with his wife, Tina decided to leave her husband for the solo life – and it worked.

As a solo artist, with the help of fellow artists like glam rocker David Bowie, Turner tumbled into mainstream success in the 80s with the only number-one hit of her career – the unconquerable love ballad “What’s Love Got To Do With It” as part of her debut solo album, Private Dancer.
