Tina Turner – A life well lived

Available for over a year

In this episode of our 5 Minutes On podcast, people who knew Tina Turner share their personal reflections with the BBC’s Kirsty Wark. From humble beginnings, and with trauma along the way, Tina Turner went on to sell more than 100 million records and won 12 Grammys. Mark Knopfler, Beverley Knight and Bonnie Greer reflect on a woman who rose to the very top, and paved the way for future stars. As Bonnie Greer says: “There would be no Beyonce, there would be no Taylor Swift, there would be no Madonna, without Tina Turner.” This episode is part of our podcast series, “Lives Well Lived”, available on BBC Sounds, and as a documentary on BBC iPlayer.
