Following a divorce from her husband Ike Turner, whom she had carved out an incredibly successful career as a husband-wife duo, Tina Turner’s career was at somewhat of a crossroads. Despite her world class vocal talent her first four solo albums were nothing short of a disappointment– Acid Queen was the only one that made a dent in the public consciousness, barely cracking the Billboard charts at #155.
But with Private Dancer Turner struck gold and single-handedly earned herself the moniker The Queen of Rock and Roll backed by massive singles like “What’s Love Got To Do With It” and “Let’s Stay Together” that propelled her to the top of the charts. And in the process, a legend was born.
