Tina turner was born Anna Mae Bullock on the morning of the 26 November 1939 at Brownsville's Memorial Hospital and lived at Nut Bush on Highway 19. Her father was Floyd Richard Bullock resident overseer on the Poindexter farm. Richard was a deacon of the Woodlawn Baptist Church. Tina as a child witnessed constant conflict between Richard and his wife Zelma Bullock. In her autobiography 'I Tina', Tina wrote that Richard and Zelma's fights,' real wall rattlers' were the dominant feature of the domestic landscape. At the time of Tina's birth her sister Alline with whom she formed a lifelong bond of friendship and mutual support, was three years old. Tina says that Alline greeted her sister as an ally 'in the parental war zone'. Tina's mother was a black Indian and down the hill from Tina's house and across Forked Deer Road lived the Indian branch of the clan: Zelma's parents were Josephus (Pappa Joe) and Georgianna Corrie.
