Acclaimed singer Tina Turner has died at age 83, a spokesperson for the performer confirmed on Wednesday.

One Hit Wonders
We’ve had some other novelty one-hit wonders: Rick Dees’ “Disco Duck”, related to the disco craze of the 1970s, C. W. McCall’s “Convoy”, and ”Sugar, Sugar” by The Archies.
And now to my favourite — Norman Greenbaum’s “Spirit In The Sky”. Greenbaum had previously been a member of psychedelic jug band Dr. West’s Medicine Show and Junk Band. With that great guitar riff, hand-clapping, and spiritual lyrics, “Spirit” has been used in countless films (Apollo 13, Wayne’s World 2), many advertisements, and television shows. It’s also been covered by many acts including UK group Doctor and The Medics, who also took the song to No.1 with a dreadful version in 1986.
