About this photograph

Tina Turner, born as Anna Mae Bullock, began singing professionally as a teenager after meeting the established performer Ike Turner. With hits such as “River Deep and Mountain High,” and “Proud Mary,” they regularly appeared in the music charts and on concert stages as they ascended to stardom. Jack Robinson photographed Ike and Tina on November 25, 1969 while they were in New York on tour with The Rolling Stones. In a “People Are Taking About …” feature of Vogue, Tina is quoted “People seem to worry about how women suffer in the songs I sing. They do, but they give it back. No man can get the best of any woman if she knows what to expect.”

About the photographer

Jack Robinson, Jr. (1928-1997), born in Meridian, Mississippi, became a renowned fashion and portrait photographer after moving to New York City in 1955. He quickly gained recognition through assignments with the New York Times and Life Magazine. His career peaked at Vogue, where he photographed celebrities like Elton John, Joni Mitchell, and The Who from 1965 to 1973. Despite his success, Robinson struggled with personal issues and relocated to Memphis in the early 1970s, where he shifted to designing award-winning stained glass. His extensive photographic archive, discovered posthumously, underscored his significant contributions to photography.
