Tina Turner

Songwriter: Donnie Fritts Troy Seals

I can hear the wind a blowin' in my mind
Just the way it used to sound, through the Georgia pines
You were there to answer when I called, yeah
You and me we had it all

Remember how I used to touch your hands
While reachin' for the feeling that was always there
You're the best thing in my life I can recall, oh
You and me we had it all

I know that we can never lives these times again
So I'll let these dreams take me back to where we've been
Then I stay there with you just as long as I can
Oh, it was so good, yeah, it was so good
Oh, it was so good, when I was your man

And I never stop believin' your smile
Even though it didn't stay, it was all worthwhile
Yes, you're the best thing in my life I can recall, oh
You and me we had it all
You and me we had it all

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.
