May 1984

At age 44 and after escaping an abusive marriage, Tina Turner released Private Dancer and won four Grammy Awards, becoming the oldest solo artist to have a number-one album at that time. Her story of survival and triumph made her a global icon, and she sold more concert tickets than any other solo performer in history.

After years out of the spotlight following her break from Ike Turner, Tina Turner releases Private Dancer, which sells over 20 million copies. The single What's Love Got to Do with It reaches number one and wins Record of the Year at the Grammys in one of music's most celebrated comebacks.
