In the 1980's, the now legendary success story of Tina Turner made her one of the biggest female recording artists ever. Her days of loneliness with Ike were over, and she now back on track, with multi-million selling albums such as "Private Dancer," "Break Every Rule" and "Foreign Affair." A greatest hits collection, "Simply The Best" followed in 1991, with the soundtrack to the autobiographical movie on Tina's troubled life, "What's Love Got To Do With It?"

Fans were left eagerly awaiting Tina's latest release - her first album of brand new songs in seven years. It arrived in September 1996, and was called "Wildest Dreams." The album has experienced moderate success in America, but big sales have been achieved in Europe where Tina is by far at her most famous. The album produced many Top 10 hits and further proved that - now in her 60's - Tina Turner is still a rock legend and a true force to be reckoned with.

Wildest Dreams opens with the fantastic song "Missing You." This cover-version is absolutely fantastic, and Tina's vocals are very impressive. Heavy guitars and drums are added to awesome effect and violin strikes towards the end are particularly enjoyable. A fantastic Tina classic. "In My Wildest Dreams" is another highlight. There is only one word to describe this song - sexy! Tina's vocals are gravely and husky in such a mysterious tone, and the beat is deep and moody. The lyrics are equally intense, and a vocal guest appearance from Antonio Banderas spices things up even further. With "Whatever You Want," Tina goes back to her hardcore rock roots by pumping out this absolutely amazing power ballad and sings to her lover, telling him that whatever he wants, he can have. "Do What You Do" is a pure pop dance number. An infectious beat dominates the song, and Tina's incredible vocals twist around the arrangement perfectly.

"Thief Of Hearts" is a brilliant dance number in which Tina hits the disco floor and belts out a fantastic song about loving guys, giving them what they want, and running away while stealing their hearts. "On Silent Wings" is a wonderful mid-tempo ballad which will relax any listener. Tina's vocals are once more on top form, and the beat is very open and beautiful. You can imagine Tina stood on a mountain top singing this song, because it has such an excellent melody. "Confidential" is another highlight. Penned by the Pet Shop Boys, the song is about Tina telling her lover that she can keep anything confidential if he indeed confides in her. The melody is relaxing and tranquil, and Tina's voice is smooth and silky.

"All Kinds Of People" is a wonderful mid-tempo song about the various races in the world, and how everyone is equal. A real quality power anthem. "Goldeneye," the theme from the James Bond film of the same name, is another album highlight. Tina's trademark husky vocals make this song sizzle, and the traditional strings of a Bond theme are also present. "Dancing In My Dreams" is an excellent ballad in which Tina sings about dancing in her dreams.

Tina Turner Biography

Anna Mae Bullock was born in Tennessee, but moved to St. Louis as a teenager. There she met rock and roll performer Ike Turner and persuaded him to let her join his backing vocalists. Eventually Anna impressed Ike so much that he gave her equal-billing, and the new name "Tina". They became the Ike and Tina Turner Revue, and married in 1962. Through the 60s they forged a reputation as a thrilling live act, with Tina's dancing playing a key part in the show, and they enjoyed several hits such as "River Deep, Mountain High" and "Proud Mary". But towards the end of the decade and into the 70s, Ike's drug abuse worsened, and he began abusing his wife and performing partner. Their marriage and the act descended into disarray, before Tina finally left in the mid-70s.

Her solo career got off to a poor start. She had already recorded two solo albums under Ike's guidance, which had got her nowhere, and her first two records post-Ike were also mostly ignored. She had massive debts and it seemed like her career had stalled, but in 1983 a cover version of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" broke the Top 10 in the UK, and did fairly well in the Hot 100 too. This prompted her record label to give her one last chance for a new album, and Tina made it count. Private Dancer (1984) was a runaway success, selling over 11 million copies, boosted by the No.1 single "What's Love Got To Do With It?", as well as "Better Be Good To Me" and "Private Dancer", which were both Top 10 hits. She won four Grammy's at the 1985 ceremony for the songs on this album.

Her huge success continued through the late 80s and early 90s. "We Don't Need Another Hero", her theme for Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (which she also starred in), was another huge hit in 1985. The following year she released the multi-platinum Break Every Rule, which included "Typical Male" and the Grammy-winning "Back Where You Started". She also performed in front of a crowd of 184,000 in Rio de Janeiro, a world record paying attendance. Foreign Affair followed in 1989 and was another phenomenal success, selling around 9 million copies and including smash hit singles like "Steamy Windows" and "The Best". The latter became a popular song for sports teams and athletes worldwide, as well as being featured in various adverts.

In 1993, Tina's autobiography I, Tina was turned into a film, called What's Love Got To Do With It?. It detailed her difficulties with Ike and the breakdown of their marriage, but remained controversial among supporters of Ike who claimed that scenes were exaggerated or unfair. The film was nominated for two Oscars, and Angela Bassett won a Golden Globe for her portrayal of Tina. Two years later she had another big hit when she recorded the theme to the James Bond film Goldeneye. Though Tina initially gave up large-scale touring after a record-breaking round of shows in 2000, she has recently announced plans to undertake a new tour in October 2008.
