About this audiobook

In this New York Times bestseller, Tina Turner—the long-reigning queen of rock & roll—reveals personal stories she’s never told before in print or film, about her complicated relationship with her mother, the tragic death of her son, and finally finding true love with Erwin, setting the record straight about her illustrious career in this eye-opening and compelling memoir.

From her early years in Nutbush, Tennessee to her rise to fame alongside Ike Turner to her phenomenal success in the 1980s and beyond, Tina candidly examines her personal history, from her darkest hours to her happiest moments and everything in between.

My Love Story is an explosive and inspiring story of a woman who dared to break any barriers put in her way. Emphatically showcasing Tina’s signature blend of strength, energy, heart, and soul, this is a gorgeously wrought memoir as enthralling and moving as any of her greatest hits.

Tina Turner

Tina Turner, born Anna Mae Bullock, was a singer and actress whose career spanned more than sixty years. She won numerous awards, including eight Grammys. Tina began her music career with her husband Ike Turner as a member of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. Success followed with a string of hits including “River Deep, Mountain High” and “Proud Mary.” She divorced Ike in 1978 and, after virtually disappearing from the music scene for several years, rebuilt her career, launching a string of hits including her 1984 solo album Private Dancer. In 1986, she published a bestselling memoir I Tina which was turned into the Academy Award-nominated film What’s Love Got to Do with It in 1993. One of the world’s most popular entertainers, Tina sold more concert tickets than any other solo music performer in history. She lived with her husband in Zurich, Switzerland until her death in 2023 at the age of eighty-three.

    Didn’t like the narrator. Too dramatic, unlike a story teller.

    I wanted to just listen to this as an audiobook, but I had to stop and just read the book. The actress they hired to read for the audiobook is just plain awful. Overacting every third word of every sentence, absolutely horrendous. Wish they’d had Tina Turner read it herself. Send this person back to Acting 101: “Does anybody talk like this in real life??”

    I have always been a Tina Turner fan but it was interesting to hear how she got her start, life with Ike and finally how she found peace and true happiness with her love of her life. Her courage with her serious illnesses left me humbled. I also enjoyed the narrators voice it was calming and I’m sure this is what Ms Turner’s voice sounded like in her earlier years.

    It’s a story about survival and perseverance. Despite the travails of her earlier years, she managed an astounding emotional, mental, and spiritual transformation. There were some slow parts, mainly attributed to whoever edited the book, but just listen to it. You’ll be better for it. If you haven’t already, you will cross paths with someone who is or was in Ms. Turner’s situation. At the very least, you will impress upon them the need to listen to this book. And hopefully they will be better for it too.
