Today is the birthday, in 1939, of Anna Mae Bullock, better known as Tina Turner. She was born in Brownsville Tennessee, sang in her church choir and rose to fame in the sixties as a part of the duo – Ike and Tina Turner. She split from Ike Turner in 1976 and went on to a phenomenally successful single career. She gave up her US citizenship in 2013 to become a Swiss citizen. She lives primarily in Kusnacht, Switzerland but also owns property in Cologne, London, Los Angeles and a villa on the French Riviera named Anna Fleur. He she is in a rather longish video of one of her many hits.
