There was absolutely no one like Tina Turner, one of the most successful artists in history. She passed away on May 24 at the age of 83 as a result of a serious illness.
The Queen of Rock n' Roll left behind a rich legacy. She taught Mick Jagger how to dance, inspired everyone from David Bowie to Beyonce.
As detailed in the 1993 biopic What's Love Got to Do With It, Tina's life was not easy. She grew up in rural Tennessee, began singing with future husband Ike Turner as a teenager, and endured his abusive, controlling behavior for years before finally escaping him.
