Our History, Our Future: 10 Female Phenoms in Entertainment


Tina Turner and Beyoncé

Tina Turner started stirring a buzz in 1960 when she recorded “A Fool in Love” with Ike Turner. It didn’t take long for Turner to rise to stardom, creating her own lane with grunting vocals, killer legs and standout hair. Beyoncé, one of the world’s biggest icons, evidently borrows from Tina Turner’s performance style and garb. The modern day star has credited Turner as an inspiration and even honored her with a brilliant performance of “Proud Mary” at The Kennedy Center Honors in 2005. The song brought the two together again at the 2008 Grammy Awards, this time rocking it out together.
