For those aspiring to be true rock and roll performers, studying the work of Tina Turner is a must. While she began her musical journey with her husband Ike, Turner's ability to inhabit every song uniquely set her apart. From infusing a swampy backbeat into The Beatles' 'Come Together' to delivering pop brilliance on tracks like 'River Deep Mountain High,' Turner's versatility was unparalleled. Even when faced with a challenge, she never backed down.

Before joining Ike, Tina Turner was known for her fearless approach behind the microphone, igniting audiences with songs like 'A Fool In Love.' Throughout her career, she brought a rock and roll intensity to traditional soulful tunes. Whether transforming mellow songs like 'Proud Mary' into a powerhouse performance or making a comeback in the mid-1980s with albums like 'Private Dancer,' Turner consistently pushed boundaries.

Despite facing decades of abuse in the first half of her career, Turner staged a remarkable comeback, earning acclaim for songs like the title track and 'What's Love Got To Do With It.' She also showcased her versatility by making a memorable appearance in the movie adaptation of The Who's Tommy as The Acid Queen and delivering a showstopping role in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.

Earning respect in both the film and music industries, Turner lent her talents to the Bond franchise with the theme from GoldenEye. Co-written with Bono and The Edge from U2, the song required Turner to restructure her singing style. In her biography, she admitted, "After that, I actually liked the way that ‘GoldenEye’ transformed my singing." Turner's rendition of 'GoldenEye' stands as a testament to her creative prowess, deserving a place among the greatest blends in the Bond franchise's history.
