Tina Turner, the legendary rock and roll singer and performer, has died at the age of 83 after a long illness in her home near Zurich, Switzerland. Turner, born Anna Mae Bullock in 1939, was the daughter of sharecroppers in rural Tennessee before she became the queen of rock and roll and even taught Mick Jagger how to dance. After years of performances across the South, she eventually rose to the highest levels of rock stardom, first as the electric front woman of the Ike and Tina Turner View with her ex-husband Ike, but she also had massive success on her own with a slew of hits including Private Dancer, The Best, and of course What's Love Got to Do with It.
