Proud Mary (1971)
With her husband Ike Turner, Tina found fame with their version of the gospel-influenced Proud Mary, which had been released by Creedence Clearwater Revival two years earlier.
The duo's take on the song, with its famous chorus about a Mississippi steamboat "rolling, rolling on the river", was more rock and raunchy than the original, winning them a Grammy.
Tina continued to perform the piece when she went solo, and it would become one of her signature sounds.
