Recently, Tina Turner turned 81, and when we reflect on the good and bad times, the joy she brought to many people, we can’t help but respect her for everything and how she overcame adversity. She grew up with her parents, witnessed the death of her son, and struggled with her health.

With “Simply The Best” among her hundred successes, Tina bids her fans a final farewell after spending years in the spotlight. Her parents, Floyd and Zelma Bullock, welcomed her into the world on November 26, 1939, in NutBush. They were tenant farmers. The closest I can come to characterizing it is that we were well-to-do farmers, Tina recounted from a Rolling Stone interview. I had the impression that we had a good life.

“My sister and I each had a separate room. We would buy new clothes every season, and I was always clean and well-groomed, especially in comparison to many other people around me.
We never went without food. We were aware that our family was different from, instance, the daughters of schoolteachers because they had access to education. My parents weren’t, per se, but they spoke clearly and had a lot of common sense. We weren’t a working-class group. My father was a deacon in the church, and my parents were actually devout Christians.
Her mother left them when she was just ten years old, and her father followed suit three years later. They had, to put it mildly, a difficult childhood.

As she explains, “My parents weren’t really my parents, and I wasn’t really theirs, so when they went, it was like they had always been gone as far as I was concerned.” “Alline, my sister, might have experienced it differently from me, so you might receive different responses if you question her. Well, isn’t it amazing that I’ve never asked her what she felt about them leaving?

Her professional life began in Missouri. She had never anticipated herself to be a famous professional singer. She only knew that as a child, she wanted to sing and dance. Tina was made into a star by Ike Turner, who recognized something exceptional in her. It’s been 6 decades since her humble beginnings, and she won many awards over the course of years, including a Grammy.

Although she had a highly successful profession, her life was full of ups and downs that had a negative impact on her health. She experienced stroke, cancer, and kidney failure. As a result of her cancer diagnosis, she also had her colon removed.
Turner remarked, “I know that my medical adventure is far from over.”
Yet I’m still here, and we’re closer than we could have ever imagined. Looking back, I can see why my karma was what it was.

“Good came out of bad,” she added. Pain gave way to joy. And right now, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. A new documentary about Tina was just aired by HBO, and she plans to use it as a platform to bid her farewell.
We send her our best wishes.
