Can anyone match her for her dynamic presence? Her boundless energy? Her unbridled passion? Her remarkable career? Tina’s story began in the 1950s when her amazing voice was discovered by one of the music business’s most notorious characters, the abusive and manipulative Ike Turner. After a harrowing twenty years under his spell, Tina found the strength to break free giving up literally everything she had except the ownership of her stage name. Armed only with that, her amazing resilience, and her relentless talent, Tina Turner went on to become one of the great comeback stories of the 20th century. Platinum selling albums, arena tours, and Grammy Awards were her rewards for a lifetime of hard work. And if that weren’t enough, when she took the stage in Rio de Janeiro one memorable night in 1988, the 180,000 people who packed the stadium put her in The Guinness Book of World Records for the “largest paying concert attendance for a solo artist.” It’s a record that has yet to be broken. James Brown may have been “The Hardest Working Man in Show Business.” But there’s plenty of proof that Tina Turner has been “The Hardest Working Person in Show Business. Period.” Great Moments in Vinyl will follow this remarkable singer’s journey from cotton farmer’s daughter to superstar by performing the songs that were the signposts along the way. It’ll be an evening of music that celebrates the indomitable power of the human spirit.
