All The Best

Tina Turner is a singer, dancer, actress and author, who has been in the entertainment industry for more than half a century. During her illustrious career, she has won worldwide recognition and numerous awards. I was lucky enough to be in Bangkok, Thailand when she traveled there on one of her world tours. It was a heck of a great show.

Ms. Turner was born and raised in the Southeastern United States but now resides in Switzerland where she is a Swiss citizen. Her first recording was in1958 when she performed under the name “Little Ann”. She was a featured singer with Ike Turner's Kings of Rhythm. In 1960, she was introduced to the public as Tina Turner of the Ike & Tina Revue. During that period of time, the duo had a string of hits including “Proud Mary” (1971), “A Fool In Love” and “River Deep--Mountain High” (1966), and she song that she wrote, “Nutbush City Limits” (1973). After her divorce from Ike Turner in 1978, she resumed her career through a series of live performances. She received worldwide acclaim in the early 1980s with a stream of hits like “Let's Stay Together”, Private Dancer” and “What's Love Got To Do With It”.

I'm developing a TV program that will highlight her career to be aired on a cable TV outlet later this year. But for now, here's a few words about her album titled “All The Best – The Hits”.

This two-disk CD is a real treat. It opens with the tune, Open Arms”.   – “Ask me no questions I'll tell you no lies Come to me when you're down I'll give you friendly advice I'll be your avenue, your trusting ear Release your deepest secrets I'll be sincere.” –    It's a mid-tempo song that sounds like it may have been written just for Ms. Turner. But don't take my word for it. Check it out for yourself. All the hits are there.
