Tina Turner and Ike Turner were a dynamic duo on stage and in real life. However, the songstress never enjoyed marital bliss until she met her second spouse, who was “so different” and blessed her with the “gift of life.”
Tina Turner, aka the “Queen of Rock and Roll,” was a sensational singer who rose to fame in the 1950s. As a beautiful young singer, she matched her energy with the talented Ike Turner after meeting him at a nightclub in Manhattan.
In no time, the duo became a force to be reckoned with, singing and performing with their duo known as “Tina and Ike Turner.”

Thankfully, Tina had the chance to experience true love again. This time, in the arms of a music executive, Erwin Bach.
