A trailblazer, trendsetter and icon: Tina Turner will leave behind a rich legacy of culture for her contributions to the music industry.

The resilient singer said that professionally, some of her happiest moments were when she was performing her hit songs live.

"One of my early career goals was to become the first Black woman to fill stadiums around the world,” she told NBC’s Today Show in 2021. “At the time, it seemed impossible. But I never gave up, and I’m so happy I made that dream come true."

Here's a look back at Turner's life and career over the years:
