“She was a good girl who aspired to become a wife, mother, and nurse. It was not until she and her sister moved to St. Louis in the mid-1950s that the future Tina Turner got a taste of the wilder side of life…Anna Mae Bullock entered show business under the guidance of a powerful, charismatic older man…Ike Turner, who was already legendary in the Southern music scene” (Buzzy Jackson, A Bad Woman Feeling Good, 2005). “Tina made her debut as a lead singer on record in 1960 when the singer Ike had enlisted to sing his composition ‘A Fool in Love’ failed to show up for the group’s session” (Gillian Gaar, She’s a Rebel, 1992).
