It was a way to control her. He felt if he could keep her cowered and intimidated, she'd lose her self esteem and stay with him, no matter what. And for a long time it worked until she got so fed up that she couldn't take any more.

He was insecure and it made him feel superior.

Which Creedence Clearwater Revival song was also a hit for Ike and Tina Turner?

Proud Mary


Who inspired Ike Turner?

Below is information from Tina Turner's Biography. Ike Turner brought her to the forefront or she may not have made it in show business because she was shy and didn't have any connections to music. In fact, Tina did not believe she was that good a singer to begin with. Tina Turner is also one of my favorites and I admire her greatly as one amazing woman and performer. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0877913/bio Tina Turner is part Native and African American. She came from a poor family in the segregated South. Her full name was Anna Mae Bullock. Anna Mae Bullock was studying to be a nurse, but eventually moved to St. Louis to reunite with her mother. At this time Anna Mae Bullock was 18 years old and frequented the Rhythm and Blues night clubs. Ike Turner (his band 'Kings of Rhythm) in 1956 had Anna Mae Bullock come up on stage and she was so good he decided to train her with his band. They eventually married and had one child (Ike had two child from a former wife) and the marriage was mentally/physically abusive. Ms. Turner eventually left Ike Turner and became know as the Queen of Rock and Roll. The rest is history. I was the one who answered the second question but I came to improve mine. It all started when Tina moved to St. Louis, she studied to be a nurse, and her mother was strict about that. Her sister Elaine would take her to the club and make her look like she was old enough to go into the bar. She loved Ike and The Kings of Rhythms. Anna Mae was in the spot light, Ike had handed her the microphone. When Ike heard Tina's voice he wanted to make her the lead singer. He hired backup signers also which were called "The Ikettes". Then Ike took cocane which made him become crazy! He started to beat up Tina because he wanted her to stay with him. They began to have a physical and abusive relationship. When they were going to a hotel, they also were going to perform at the Academy. But while they were going to the hotel Ike slapped her because Tina didn't want to perform. So the fight started. Ike hit Tina again, but this time she hit back (in an interview in the 90's she said that she hit Ike so hard that her fist bounced). When she reached the hotel she ran away. She divorced Ike. She went back on tour and this time it was bigger, she sold more tickets then any other female artists. She was known as THE QUEEN OF ROCK AND ROLL! Since she's going back on tour again I guess she'll sell more! I love you Tina you are an inspiration and a legend. YOU ROCK!

Is Tina turner a Buddhist?

Born: 26 November 1939Birthplace: Nutbush, TennesseeBest Known As: Singer of "What's Love Got to Do With It"Tina Turner was only 18 when she began singing with frenetic rhythm & blues star Ike Turner in the late 1950s. Eventually the two married and Tina got nearly equal billing in the band, which became known as Ike and Tina Turner Revue. Their hot stage act was a hit on repeated tours of the U.K. and the U.S. and they released several records; their biggest hit, "Proud Mary," came out in 1970. Tina left Ike in 1976, amid acrimonious tales of drugs and abuse, and went solo. In 1984 she released the album Private Dancer. It included a number one single ("What's Love Got to Do With It?") and won Grammy Awards for record of the year, female pop performance and female rock vocal of the year. Turner settled into her new persona as a proud survivor and grande dame of R&B, and continued to record and tour her high-energy act throughout the 1990s. She also tried her hand at acting, most notably as the Acid Queen in The Who's rock opera Tommy(1975) and as the domineering Aunty Entity in the apocalyptic Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985, with mel-gibson).Ike and Tina Turner were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991. The Hall calls them "one of the highest energy ensembles on the soul circuit in the late '60s and early '70s"... Ike Turner died in 2007... "We Don't Need Another Hero," Tina's 1985 theme to Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, was also a popular hit... She was played by Angela Bassett in the 1993 biopic What's Love Got To Do With It; laurence-fishburneplayed Ike.
