Tina Turner was a singer, songwriter, actress, and author. As a rock icon, her vocal prowess, raspy vocal delivery, electrifying stage presence, live performance record, and breaking the color barrier as an artist in rock helped her to be dubbed the "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll". Turner rose to prominence as the lead singer of the husband-wife duo Ike & Tina Turner. Their tumultuous marriage led to a divorce and disbanding in 1976, and she embarked on a successful solo career, becoming one of the best-selling recording artists of all time, with estimated sales of 100 to 150 million records worldwide.
