This was it: the day my husband Ike and I finally faced each other in a judge's chambers. At 39, I was about to win my freedom. Not that there was much else to celebrate. I'd been left with two sons and two stepsons, nowhere to live, horrendous debts and a singing career – now that I was no longer part of the Ike and Tina Turner Revue – that was all but dead in the water.'Young lady, what do you want?' the judge asked me, as Ike gave me threatening looks.There was just one thing: my own name. I'd been born Anna Mae Bullock, but it was Ike who'd come up with 'Tina Turner' when we started performing – and he still owned the name as a trademark.
