CHICAGO — Ike Turner, who died Wednesday at age 76 in his suburban San Diego home, changed the course of modern music, scored numerous hits and yet is best known as the scoundrel who abused Tina Turner.

The couple’s bloody, bruised relationship, portrayed in the 1993 movie “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” helped turn Ike Turner into a villain.

I bet Tina won’t miss him.
