Welcome back to episode 2 on the life of TINA TURNER, BABY! In today's episode, we're taking a look at the life and times of one of the most iconic musicians of all time, Tina Turner. Last we left her it was #FreeTina and she was leaving Ike Turner. Now she's ready to be a solo act.

After splitting from Ike Turner, Tina was left to forge a path on her own. And for a few years there, she wasn't exactly living in the lap of luxury. Did y'all know Tina spent 2 years on food stamps? But with a powerhouse voice and a fierce determination, she managed to break through the noise. She released a string of hit albums throughout the 80s and 90s, cementing her status as a true legend of the music industry.

Her empowering message of strength and resilience has resonated with people of all ages and backgrounds, making her a true icon of both music and culture.

Oh, and if you think she was unlucky in love the first time, her second go around at love was much, much better. Did she think she deserved it? She deserves more.

As we fast forward to the present day, Tina's legacy is as strong as ever. What can we say? SHE'S SIMPLY THE BEST!
