Tina Turner met Ike Turner when she was just 17.
For years, he controlled every note she sang—until the day she finally recorded River Deep – Mountain High without him hovering over her. In that studio, for the first time, Tina found herself.
It took time, fear, and unimaginable strength, but she eventually walked away from the marriage she later described as “walking away from death—escaping torture.” She was 36 when she left. And she never looked back.
Tina, you are one of my role models. What a powerful force you are. You are love. 🩷
