What's love got to do with it - Tina Turner

Tina Turner was famous for her big hits in the Sixties, but by 1984, she was totally forgotten. She released a new album 'Private dancer' in 1984, from which this single, 'What's love got to do with it' was taken. The song was originally written for the R&B singer Phyllis Hyman.

No-one expected this single to become the great success it became. It reached number 1 in the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, number 3 in the UK singles chart and number 15 in the Dutch Top 40.

My collection: 7" single no. 1008
Found: Record Exchange, London, October 17, 1989
Cost: 50p
Tracks: 'What's love got to do with it' / 'Don't rush the good things'
