LP Scoring Event 1 Texas Description
Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen. She packed her seven versalia, put her initial into the belt and made herself on the way. When she reached the first hills of the Italic Mountains, she had a last view back on the skyline of her hometown Bookmarksgrove, the headline of Alphabet Village and the subline of her own road, the Line Lane. Pityful a rethoric question ran over her cheek, then

About Tina Turner
Genre
R&B
Tina Turner was born in Brownsville, Tennessee, and raised in Nutbush, just like the song says, and was in recording sessions as early as 1953 when she was barely a teenager.
In 1958 she married guitarist and bandleader, Ike Turner, and in the 1960's they recorded a string of hits, including "A Fool In Love" and "It's Gonna Work Out Fine". The recording of the ground breaking "River Deep, Mountain High" with producer Phil Spector was a monster hit in Europe and the start of Tina's superstar status.
The 70's brought hits such as "Proud Mary" and Tina's self-penned "Nutbush City Limits", but the marriage was disintegrating due to Ike's abusive behaviour and after starring in The Who's 1976 film of "Tommy", Tina was ready to strike out on her own.
As the massively successful film "What's Love Got To Do With It" would later depict, she had to haul her way up a mountain of debts and disinterest but in 1982 she landed a solo deal with Capitol Records and by the summer of '84 the album "Private Dancer", with its acclaimed singles "Let's Stay Together" and "What's Love Got To Do With It", was on its way to world sales of 11 million and 4 Grammys.
Since that time the successes have just kept coming: a starring role in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome; duets with Bryan Adams, David Bowie, Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger and Italian superstar, Eros Ramizotti amongst others; a best-selling autobiography, 'I, Tina'; which was made into the critically acclaimed film "What's Love Got to Do with It", chronicling her life and receiving two Academy Award nominations; a string of hit albums and awards; and sell-out world tours; including:
- the 1986 "Break Every Rule" album and world tour. Tina entered the record books when she performed in front of the largest paying audience ever to see a single performer -186,000 spectators at the Macarana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro;
- the 1989 "Foreign Affair" album and tour, spawning hits such as "Steamy Windows" and "The Best";
- the 1995 "Wildest Dreams" album and extensive world tour, breaking box office records in 12 countries;
- in 2000 the phenomenally successful "Twenty Four Seven" millennium world tour, the highest grossing US tour of the year.
Hitting the road Oct. 1, 2008, in Kansas City, watch a clip of her spectacular new tour here:
In 2004 Tina released her last album, a compilation of Greatest Hits with the newly recorded single "Open Arms". It was a worldwide hit, debuting at #2 in the US charts.
In 2005 Tina was honoured as one of Oprah Winfrey's legends, African-American women who broke barriers through their work, and ended the year as one of the recipients in Washington DC of the Kennedy Center Honors, the highest form of recognition of excellence in the arts in America.
In February this year, Tina performed with Beyonce at the 50th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. She electrified the audience and received a standing ovation for her performance and duet with Beyonce, and garnered highly positive reviews in the press. It was due to this overwhelming reaction, and requests from fans all over the world to perform live once again, that she has decided to do some select concerts in North America and Europe.
With sales of 170 million albums and a phenomenal number of hit records to her career; River Deep, Mountain High, Proud Mary, What's Love Got To Do With It, Better Be Good To Me, Typical Male, What You See is What You Get, Steamy Windows, We Don't Need Another Hero, Goldeneye, The Best ''Tina Turner is the most successful female rock artist of all time and the undisputed Queen of Rock N Roll.
