OC: "...gets better and better." (music sting)

CORRESPONDENT: Stephanie Elam

SUGGESTED LEDE:

TINA TURNER WAS ONE OF THE BEST-SELLING ARTISTS OF ALL TIME.

SHE WAS AS FAMOUS FOR HER VOICE, LEGS, AND ENERGY ON STAGE AS WELL AS HER TROUBLED MARRIAGE OFF STAGE...

WHICH MADE FOR ONE OF THE GREATEST COMEBACKS IN MUSIC HISTORY.



==TINA AND THE IKETTES PERFORMING PROUD MARY ON THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL CLIP==

"Rolling, rolling, rolling on a river…"



==TRACK==

"PROUD MARY" WAS ONE OF TINA TURNER'S SIGNATURES -- SHOWCASING HER UNIQUE SOUND, LOOK, AND MOVES.



==TINA TURNER ON LARRY KING LIVE SOT==

TURNER: That's my style. I take great songs and turn them into rock 'n' roll songs on stage.



==TRACK==

ICON. SURVIVOR. A QUEEN OF ROCK AND ROLL.



==TURNER SOT==

TURNER: …at the moment when I walk on stage, there's such a feeling of faces looking back at me with love and admiration.



(COUNTRY/BLUEGRASS MUSIC NAT)



==TRACK==

TINA TURNER BEGAN LIFE AS ANNA MAE BULLOCK IN RURAL TENNESSEE.

AS A TEENAGER SHE MOVED TO SAINT LOUIS, WHERE SHE MET ROCKER IKE TURNER.





==TURNER SOT==

TURNER: Ike was very good to me when I first started my career. I was in high school and started to sing weekends with him, and we were close friends.



==TRACK==

THE 'IKE AND TINA TURNER REVUE'S' FIRST HIT CAME IN 1960 WITH "A FOOL IN LOVE," A SONG THEY PERFORMED ON "SHINDIG!"





THEY MARRIED IN 1962, AND IN 1966 RECORDED "RIVER DEEP MOUNTAIN HIGH."



==RIVER DEEP MOUNTAIN HIGH CLIP==

"River deep -- mountain high..."



==TRACK==

IT WAS A HIT OVERSEAS, BUT FLOPPED IN THE U-S.



(SERIOUS MUSIC)



==TRACK==

OFF STAGE, IKE'S DRUG ABUSE FUELED VIOLENT OUTBURSTS...





==TURNER SOT==

TURNER: ...I had had a lot of violence, houses burnt, cars shot into -- the lowest that you can think of in terms of violence.



==TRACK==

AFTER YEARS OF PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL ABUSE, TINA LEFT IKE IN THE MID-SEVENTIES WITH NOTHING BUT HER NAME... AT ONE POINT RELYING ON FOOD STAMPS TO SURVIVE.



(DIP TO BLACK)



==LET'S STAY TOGETHER MUSIC VIDEO NAT==

"Let's... let's stay together."



==TRACK==

IN THE EARLY EIGHTIES, TURNER'S COVER OF "LET'S STAY TOGETHER" REIGNITED HER CAREER.



==PRIVATE DANCER MUSIC VIDEO NAT==

"I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money, do what you want me to do..."



==TRACK==



"PRIVATE DANCER" FOLLOWED IN 1984 -- A RUNAWAY CRITICAL AND COMMERCIAL SUCCESS.



THE ALBUM FEATURED HER ONLY NUMBER-ONE SONG...



==WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT MUSIC VIDEO NAT==

"Ohh, what's love got to do, go to do with it..."



==TRACK==

...THOUGH SHE WASN'T A FAN.



==TURNER SOT==

TURNER: I didn't like it. // I wasn't accustomed to singing those kind of songs.





IT WAS ALSO THE TITLE OF A 1993 FILM -- STARRING ANGELA BASSETT -- BASED ON TINA'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY.



==LKL TURNER SOT==

KING: Did the picture do it justice?

TURNER: Yes, I think in way. I would have liked for them to have had more truth, but according to Disney, they said, it's impossible, the people would not have believed the truth.



==TRACK==



TURNER HERSELF APPEARED IN MOVIES SUCH AS THE WHO'S "TOMMY" AND "MAD MAX: BEYOND THUNDERDOME."

SHE SANG ITS THEME SONG...



==WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER HERO MUSIC VIDEO NAT==

"We don't need another hero..."



==TRACK==

AS WELL AS THE THEME TO THE JAMES BOND FILM, "GOLDENEYE..."



==GOLDENEYE MUSIC VIDEO NAT==

"Now I've got you in my sights, with a goldeneye..."





==TRACK==

ONE MAJOR ROLE SHE TURNED DOWN WOULD GO TO OPRAH WINFREY IN "THE COLOR PURPLE."



==TURNER SOT==

TURNER: it was too close to my personal life. I had just left such a life, and it was too soon to be reminded of.



==DON'T WANNA FIGHT MUSIC VIDEO NAT==

"I don't really wanna fight no more"



==TRACK==

THE "WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT" SOUNDTRACK GAVE TURNER ANOTHER HIT...





==TRACK==



HER PERSONAL FAVORITE?



==THE BEST MUSIC VIDEO NAT==

"You're simply the best..."



==TURNER SOT==



TURNER: It's very special because at the time when I got it, no one believed in it but me.





==WHEN THE HEARTACHE IS OVER MUSIC VIDEO NAT==

"When the heartache is over, I know I won't be missing you..."



==TRACK==

Turner continued recording

and touring into her eighties.



she was honored by the kennedy center in 2005 and

inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo act in 2021 --

thirty years after her first induction as part of a duo with Ike Turner.



All the while, her Buddhist faith kept her going.



==TURNER SOT==



TURNER: It's a strong belief that we cause an effect. The cause you make this lifetime could be the effect of a better life the next lifetime. // it will be better, and gets better and better.
