Diva Canon #8: TINA TURNER

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

It's Friday, it's time for another canon! And who more deserving than our enormo-haired leggy warbler Anna Mae Bullock? Not a diva in the traditional screaming-toddler sense perhaps, but most definitely an icon worthy of a ticky box or two.

TINAFAX:

Tina's hair fell out after she bleached it too much as a teenager. Thankfully Mr Wig invented the wig the next day and Tina became a massive superstar!

Tina has sold nearly 100 million records.

Tina was the oldest person to get a US #1 hit but her record was subsequently broken by Aerosmith and Cher (not at the same time).

Tina loves Steps' version of Tragedy (see picture)

Tina's voice can cut through a block of Stilton at 20 paces.

So, a lot more success with Ike (though notice the list of top 40 hits in the two countries is completely disjoint). A bit more success during the mid 80's comeback, but way less post-1990 success.
