Biography

American rock singer, actress and author, with a powerful blues-soaked voice, often referred to as 'The Queen Of Rock 'n' Roll', born 26th November 1939, Brownsville, Tennessee, USA, died 24th May 2023, Küsnacht, Switzerland. Became a citizen of Switzerland and relinquished American citizenship in 2013. Turner began her successful career with hits like "River Deep, Mountain High" alongside husband [a=Ike Turner] in the 1960s, from whom she separated after years of abuse, as she reported in her autobiography "I, Tina". A&M man [a192111] is credited for relaunching her career in the 1980s. Singles such as "What's Love Got to Do with It" and the album "Private Dancer" put her firmly back into the mainstream, along with roles as 'The Acid Queen' in "Tommy" and 'Aunt Entity' in the film "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome". In 2008, Turner came out of semi-retirement and embarked on her "Tina!: 50th Anniversary Tour" - one of the largest ticket-sales tours of that year. 'Rolling Stone' magazine has hailed her as "One of the greatest singers of all time", reaching unprecedented heights in stadium-filling Rock.

LYRICS

Y' know, every now and then
I think you might like to hear something from us
Nice and easy
But there's just one thing
You see we never ever do nothing
Nice and easy
We always do it nice and rough
So we're gonna take the beginning of this song
And do it easy
Then we're gonna do the finish rough
This is the way we do "Proud Mary"

And we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Listen to the story
I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Till I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river

If you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry if you got no money
People on the river are happy to give
