By the age of 17, PP Arnold was unhappily married with two young children. But a telephone call, out of the blue, inviting her to audition for Tina Turner was about to set her off on a very different course in life. One that would take her from the USA to London at the height of the Swinging Sixties, working with some of the biggest artists in the world and turn a teenage mum into a soul singing star.
PP Arnold has written a book about her life and music career called Soul Survivor.
