Tina - What's Love Got to Do with It

La storia

La piccola nera Anna Mae Bullock, si fa un giorno cacciare dal coro della sua Chiesa, poichè lo stile "gospel" lo interpreta a modo suo. Notata dal capo di una orchestrina e compositore di canzoni - Ike Turner - costui ne valuta il talento, la lancia con il nome di Tina in varie tournée, se ne innamora ricambiato: il duo, sposatosi, comincia a far dollari e dischi. Ma Ike non solo è un manager esigente che litiga sempre per imporre il proprio tipo di canzoni, ma è anche un uomo violento e duro, che alterna carezze e doni a botte ed umiliazioni. Alla fine ribellatasi e chiesto il divorzio, Tina vince la causa e lascia al marito denaro ed investimenti, purchè le resti il proprio nome artistico.
