Tina Turner, 1969

Tina Turner, born as Anna Mae Bullock, began singing professionally as a teenager after meeting the established performer Ike Turner. At twenty, she stood in for a singer who failed to show for a recording session, and her rendering of “A Fool in Love” in 1960 reached number two in the Top 30 chart. Anna Mae was now Tina, and the name of the act was the Ike and Tina Turner Revue. With hits such as “River Deep and Mountain High,” and “Proud Mary,” they regularly appeared in the music charts and on concert stages as they ascended to stardom. Jack Robinson photographed Tina on November 25, 1969 while Ike and Tina were in New York on tour with The Rolling Stones. In a “People Are Taking About …” feature of Vogue, Tina is quoted “People seem to worry about how women suffer in the songs I sing. They do, but they give it back. No man can get the best of any woman if she knows what to expect.”
