Tina Turner Instagram – Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll: The Decades – 70s 🎤Over the next few weeks, we’ll be chronicling Tina’s remarkable solo career through each decade. Step back in time with us to the electrifying world of the 1970s! In 1975, Tina made her first film appearance in the almost-impossible-to-define-rock ‘n’ roll-drama ‘Tommy’, playing the audacious and erratic ‘Acid Queen’. Tina paid homage to her surreal role in the film by giving her second studio album its namesake. After the film wrapped, Tina learnt that David Bowie (one of her later collaborators) was also considered for the role! Outside exploring the world of film, Tina began experimenting with her sound. Whilst she did not fully embrace the disco craze sweeping the era, a few disco-inspired tracks made it into her 1978 album ‘Rough’, including the funk heavy ‘Viva La Money’. As well as continuing to conquer the stage, Tina also graced more and more television screens in the late 1970s. Her performances during this era reflected her newfound control over her stage persona and evolving musical prowess.
