然而,蒂娜透娜並非事業婚姻兩得意,她曾被艾克家暴長達20年,直到1978年兩人離婚。離婚後,蒂娜透娜曾當過清潔工養家糊口,好在1984年透過第5張個人專輯《Private Dancer》東山再起。
Before she was the Queen of Rock and Roll, Tina Turner was a farmer’s daughter in Tennessee. As a child, she sang in the church choir before becoming one of the most successful recording artists of all time.
