10. Tina Turner
Tina Turner, whose real name is Anna Mae Bullock, is one of the most influential R&B singers of the last 50 years. Turner got her start as a featured singer with Ike Turner’s King’s of Rhythm and formed a successful duo with her husband Ike, that lasted for several years.
After she and Ike divorced, Turner rebuilt her career through her live performances, and saw a boon in popularity in the 1980s with the release of several hit songs such as “Let’s Stay Together” and “What’s Love Got To Do With It.”
Turner is one of the world’s best-selling artists of all-time, with a combined single and album sales total of 180 million copies. She has also won 11 Grammy Awards during her career.
In recent years, Turner has caused quite a bit of controversy, renouncing her American citizenship in 2013 and obtaining Swiss citizenship.
