In a career that spans nearly 40 years and includes over 60 album credits, Joe Lynn Turner remains one of rock and roll's most distinctive, soulful and expressive vocalists.
Born August 2, 1951 in Hackensack, New Jersey (U.S.A.), he played the accordion as a child, grew up with an appreciation for classic Rhythm and Blues (R&B) and became an accomplished guitarist in his early teens. In fact, his first band, Filet of Soul, featured singer J.T. Taylor who would later have success with Kool and the Gang. While in high school, Joe formed Ezra, performing original material and cover songs by artists who were a great influence on him: Jimi Hendrix, Free and Deep Purple.
In 1976, JLT enjoyed his first taste of national success with Fandango, a band described as an eclectic mix of R&B, pop, country, jazz and melodic rock. Turner sang and played guitar on all of the band's four albums. Fandango toured with numerous artists including The Allman Brothers, The Marshall Tucker Band, The Beach Boys and Billy Joel.
After Fandango split, in the first of two incredible twists of Fate, JLT received a phone call from legendary guitarist Ritchie Blackmore. Turner's work with Fandango prompted an audition and Blackmore was so impressed that he immediately enlisted Joe in Rainbow, a band that he formed after he left Deep Purple. Ironically, Joe spent his formative years covering Deep Purple songs and now he found himself fronting a band with two former members: Blackmore and Roger Glover.
Rainbow, while popular in Europe and Japan, had not garnered the same level of notoriety in the U.S.A. It was Turner's contributions that helped catapult the group to a new level of success. Several JLT-infused album tracks reached the Top 20 on rock radio charts. "Stone Cold" was Rainbow's first Top 40 pop radio hit and the band's innovative videos were in heavy airplay rotation on MTV (Music Television). Turner co-wrote and/or sang on Rainbow singles that helped define the melodic rock genre: "I Surrender," "Can't Happen Here," "Jealous Lover," "Death Alley Driver," "Street of Dreams" and "Can't Let You Go."
In 1984, Blackmore reunited with Deep Purple. This gave Turner freedom to work on his first solo album, "Rescue You," produced by Roy Thomas Baker, known for his work with Queen and The Cars. JLT co-wrote most of the songs with keyboardist Al Greenwood (Foreigner). The first single, "Endlessly," received extensive airplay on radio and MTV. A tour with Pat Benatar and acting role in the movie, "Blue Deville" followed.
Turner also proved his versatility by working with a diverse array of artists, including Billy Joel, Cher, Michael Bolton, Mick Jones (Foreigner), John Waite (The Babys). Bolton also encouraged him to enter the lucrative business of singing and doing character voices for radio and television. This would afford Joe a steady income that was not reliant on the commercial success of any band or project he decided to get involved with. In 1987, JLT became a member of YngwieMalsteen's Rising Force. Their union resulted in "Odyssey," the most commercially successful album for Malmsteen up to this point in history. A follow-up world tour was highlighted by ten "sold out" shows in Russia that were recorded for the "Trial By Fire: Live in Leningrad" album and video.
In the winter of 1989, Ritchie Blackmore and Deep Purple needed to find a lead singer to replace Ian Gillan. Several high profile vocalists were considered. In a second ironic twist of Fate, Turner was invited to audition and found himself fronting one of the major bands he was influenced by as a teenager! They released the album, "Slaves and Masters" and launched an extensive world tour in the midst of The Gulf War. While many bands cancelled their tours, afraid to travel during turbulent times, Purple and JLT forged on. Turner wrote and sang on several tracks for a follow-up album that were never officially released. To this day, Blackmore maintains that "Slaves and Masters" is his f


The Tivoli är en nattklubb och ett konsertställe beläget i Ångfärjestationen på Hamntorget i Helsingborg där många stora svenska och utländska artister spelat.


Klubben ägs av Nöjesbolaget KAMP i Helsingborg AB, som 2008 hade 19 anställda och omsatte 25,8 miljoner kronor. Klubben arrangerar varje år ett flertal konserter med olika typer av artister. Vid riktigt stora konserter räcker inte klubben till och istället kan dessa hållas på Helsingborgs konserthus eller på Sofiero slott. The Tivoli anordnar även andra tillställningar, som bland annat musiktävlingarna Företagsrock och Popcorn, samt Stand-up comedy. Nattklubbsverksamheten hålls på lördagar och på fredagar arrangeras klubben Kingston.


The Tivoli startades av konsert- och klubbarrangörerna Hans Jönsson och Joakim Olin och invigdes den 6 september 1996. Klubben hyrde in sig i lokaler i Ångfärjestationen, vars funktion som färjeterminal upphörde den 10 juni 1991, då färjetrafiken flyttades över till den nybyggda Knutpunkten. Klubben huserade i byggnadens östra del, i den del som utgjorde den ursprungliga Ångfärjestationen från 1898. I tillbyggnaden i väster från 1901 inhystes olika ungdomsverksamheter i Helsingborgs kommuns regi, främst Club 64 och Café Ångfärjan. Under 2000-talets första decennium renoverades främst Vinylbaren i samband med att en restaurangtillbyggnad från 1970-talet revs och ersattes med en veranda. När ungdomsverksamheten i tillbyggnaden lades ner tog The Tivoli över lokalerna och i februari 2009 invigdes där den nya klubben Cirkus.
