Ball of confusion - B.E.F. presents Tina Turner

I'm not particularly a fan of Tina Turner, but I bought a few B.E.F. singles before ('Anyone who had a heart' and 'I don't know why I love you (but I love you)') and they're always interesting. And so, here is B.E.F.'s version of 'Ball of confusion'. 

The song was originally a hit for The Temptations in 1970. It was written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong. The lyrics list problems affecting the world, including crime, taxes and drugs, calling them a "ball of confusion." It was part of the group's "psychedelic soul" phase. Turner's synth-driven interpretation was taken from the B.E.F. 1982 album Music of Quality and Distinction Volume One. In Norway, this single peaked at number 5, though it didn't chart anywhere else.
