Tina Turner left Ike Turner in 1976 with
36 cents in her pocket. Nothing else. No
money. No label. No manager. No home. Just
her name. And he had tried to take that too.
She was 36 years old. Career considered finished
by everyone in the industry. Cleaned houses
to survive. Applied for food stamps. Kept
performing in small clubs for almost nothing.
Eight years later released Private Dancer in
1984. Sold 20 million copies worldwide. Won
four Grammys. Became the comeback story of
an entire generation. "I didn't survive to
be bitter," she said. "I survived to be better."
Like if starting over is sometimes the bravest
thing anyone can do.
