A Tribute To Tina Turner 11 I In all endeavors African Americans have all ways had to work harder than other groups in order to reap similar 1 rewards. From Minstrelsy to MTV they were paid less but 1 I worked more often. Most performers struggled and still ' . struggle on something called the "chitlin circuit". This is a series of venues in urban areas that cater to African American entertainment. The pay is small; consequently the artist have ll ,i I to work more days in order to make a living. This can range from 140 to 240 nights per year. Quite often these are one nighters. James Brown has always been considered the ,: i hardest working man in show business because he did 200 one nighters per year. Tina Turner was the hardest working woman in show business when she was with Ike.
