Editorial Review: : Few have endured such turmoil as Tina Turner. In 1976, after 20 years toil with husband Ike, she was left with nothing but bruises, 36 cents and a Mobil gas card. Oh, and four children. Yet by 1985, with her big highlighted hair and little leather skirt recognised worldwide, she was a 10-million-seller, and a Hollywood star to boot. Collaborating with Heaven 17, Turner had achieved forward momentum. Now, signed to Capitol, she assembled about her a host of famous writer/producers, including Rupert Hine, Terry Brittan and Mike Chapman. The result was Private Dancer, a smart, mainstream and melody-heavy fusion of rock, pop and R&B making the most of Turner's world-weary persona and roughhouse soul inflections and featured huge singles like "What's Love Got to Do with It?" and the title track (written by Dire Straits's Mark Knopfler, guitar courtesy of Jeff Beck). Maybe rock's greatest comeback. --Dominic Wills Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - Tina Turner at her best......This is a mixture of songs written by admirers, and others that were already well known. It's the Queen of raunchiness herself and her unmistakable delivery that make this album what it is. I'm not a massive Tina Turner fan..... probobly because for me her later releases didn't push her to the dizzy heights of this masterpiece. Rating: - EXTENDED CLASSICTina Turner’s classic album from 1984 has been substantially enhanced with the addition of seven tracks, including wonderful extended versions of What’s Love Gotta Do With It, Better Be Good To Me and I Can’t Stand The Rain. This makes Private Dancer even more of an essential album as it remains Turner’s masterpiece from the eighties, an album of brilliant material exquisitely interpreted. It’s a concept album loosely based on a stripper’s life, a bit like Donna Summer’s Bad Girls from 1979 and it amply showcases Tina Turner’s multifaceted talents. The bitter What’s Love Got To Do With It and the melancholy title track, both passionate ballads, were massive hits. Better Be Good To Me and Steel Claw are scorching rockers while ...

A must for all TT fans. |
