Tina Turner is a music icon. After starting her career with former husband Ike Turner, the singer and sometime actor broke free of his control and had a string of top 10 hits in the 80s and 90s. Now, HBO is releasing a documentary on Turner illustrating the impact she had on music.
TINA features footage sourced from hundreds of hours of archival home, concert, and interview footage. It includes testimonials from Oprah, former MTV journalist, Kurt Loder, and Angela Bassett, who portrayed Turner in the 1994 biopic, What’s Love Got to Do With It. The documentary highlights her early days singing with ex-husband Ike Turner and their abusive relationship that ended in divorce in the mid-70s. Despite her early success, Turner struggled after the split and was forced to sing in dive bars as she scraped up enough cash to make a record. After nearly a decade without success, Turner scored a record deal with Capitol Records and released the #1 charting album Private Dancer. From there she would go on to have immense success in the late 80s and early 90s, releasing hits What’s Love Got To Do With It and The Best, before vanishing from the public after marrying a German record executive and moving to Switzerland. Since then she’s made the odd appearance and performance but appears quite content to live out her days away from the spotlight. TINA looks like being a fascinating insight into one of the most colorful careers in music history. TINA will air on HBO and HBO Max on March 27.
