NOTE: This article is 6 months old and may not include the most recent information.

It is with heavy hearts that we bid farewell to the iconic Tina Turner, whose voice, courage, and dynamism influenced generations. Her sound was a unique blend of rock and soul that propelled her to international stardom, carving out a legendary space for herself in the music industry. Today, as we remember her talent and her journey, we bring you some of her most significant performances and hits.

  1. “What’s Love Got to Do with It”

In 1984, with this groundbreaking song, Tina Turner became an unstoppable force in pop music. The sultry rhythm and its compelling lyrics coupled with Turner’s robust performance made it a universal anthem for those wrestling with the complexities of love. It was this track that gave Tina her first and only Billboard Hot 100 No.1 single.

  1. “Proud Mary”

A cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s song, “Proud Mary” quickly became a staple of Turner’s live performances. Her dynamic, high-energy rendition, complete with her distinctive dance routine, exemplified Tina’s charismatic stage presence. This track was a declaration of Tina’s vocal prowess and her ability to make a song truly her own.

  1. “River Deep – Mountain High”

While the song initially flopped on its release in the United States, it eventually became recognized as one of the most profound records of the time. Produced by Phil Spector, “River Deep – Mountain High” showcases the extraordinary breadth of Turner’s vocal range and her ability to infuse raw emotion into her performance.

  1. “Private Dancer”

The title track of her breakthrough solo album, “Private Dancer,” revealed a more introspective side of Turner. Her soulful rendition of the song offered listeners a glimpse of the personal battles and resilience that defined her life and career.

  1. “the Best”

An anthem of positivity and empowerment, “The Best” embodies Tina Turner’s spirit and energy. The song’s powerful lyrics combined with Turner’s dynamic vocals make it an enduring favorite for many and a fitting descriptor for Turner’s legacy.

  1. “We Don’t Need Another Hero”

From the soundtrack of the movie ‘Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome’ in which Turner also starred, “We Don’t Need Another Hero” is a perfect blend of Turner’s rock-infused style and dramatic flair. This song’s haunting melody and potent lyrics convey a message of hope and survival that resonates deeply, much like Turner’s own life.

In remembering Tina Turner, we pay tribute to a woman who overcame insurmountable odds to leave an indelible mark on the music world. Her raw energy, distinctive voice, and unwavering courage will forever echo in the annals of rock and roll history. Her legacy continues to inspire and uplift, reminding us all to keep rolling on the river of life, no matter what it may bring.
