It was Independence Day, July 4, 1976. But for Tina Turner, it was her own personal independence day. After another brutal beating on the way to a hotel in Dallas, she waited until her husband and jailer, Ike Turner, fell asleep. In a white pantsuit, splattered with her own blood, she slipped out of the room. She had 36 cents in her pocket and a single gas station credit card.
She ran. She crossed a busy freeway, miraculously avoiding being hit, and found refuge at a nearby hotel. When Ike discovered her escape, he sent his thugs after her. But it was too late. She had vanished.
That day, she left him everything: the money, the contracts, the house. She took only one thing—her name. And her freedom.
That night began her second life, the one that transformed her from a victim into the Queen of Rock ’n’ Roll.
