Turner’s death marked the end of an extraordinary career that transformed popular music and made her one of the most influential performers of her generation. Her private funeral was held for close friends and family.
One of Turner’s biggest career achievements came with her 1984 album Private Dancer. The multi-platinum record produced the iconic hit “What’s Love Got to Do with It,” which became her only No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned the Grammy Award for Record of the Year.
Turner achieved remarkable success as a solo performer, especially considering she reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 at age 44. Her celebrated catalog included songs such as “Better Be Good to Me,” “Private Dancer,” “Nutbush City Limits,” “Proud Mary,” “The Best,” “We Don’t Need Another Hero,” “I Don’t Wanna Fight,” and “GoldenEye.”
