With her husband Ike Turner, Tina found fame with their version of the gospel-influenced “Proud Mary”, which had been released by Creedence Clearwater Revival two years earlier.
Tina continued to perform the piece when she went solo, and it would become one of her signature sounds.Another of Turner’s defining songs, this was her sole US number one and brought her four Grammys, also providing the title for the 1993 Oscar-nominated biopic of her life. A track on her fifth solo album “Private Dancer”, the song had been turned down by Cliff Richards and Donna Summer before Turner picked it up.
She wears a similar Amazon-style get-up for the video of the choral-backed piece, which warns against false hope and oppression.Turner’s cover of the Bonnie Tyler original released a year earlier was the major success of her album “Foreign Affair”.
