LONDON, ENG.– Music’s Queen of Rock-n-Roll, Tina Turner has just made a huge deal with BMG. The singing legend sold her music catalog to BMG. The deal also gives the company the right to Turner’s likeness and image.
The catalog goes back 60 years. Turner became famous with ex-husband Ike Turner in the late 60’s and 70’s. She eventually left the marriage and embarked on a solo career. In the early 80’s she found success on her own. Her album, “Private Dancer” turned her into a huge star.
The deal with BMG is reported to be worth more than $50M. The 81-year-old artist has sold more than 100 million records. Later this month she will be inducted into the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame.
