Foreword by Martyn Ware. Tina Turner: singer, trailblazer, icon. One of the best-known and most-beloved performers of all time, Simply Tina documents her life, career and relationship with celebrated music photographer, Paul Cox. When Paul Cox captured Tinas legendary 1983 comeback performance with Heaven 17 on Channel 4s The Tube, it was the beginning of a friendship that would last for over two decades. During that time, Paul was commissioned to photograph Tina on numerous video shoots and live performances. This unique and intimate collection contains a variety of never-before-seen images, telling the story of Tinas career through a mixture of live photos, video shoots, promo shots, candid images and sessions in the recording studio, as well as a few featuring some such high-profile names as David Bowie, Rod Stewart, Bryan Adams and many more.
