Hear Tina Turner’s Previously Unreleased “Hot For You Baby” From Private Dancer 40th-Anniversary Reissue
Tina Turner, a towering figure in the history of American music, passed away in 2013 at the age of 83. Today, we get to hear some previously unreleased music from Turner’s greatest moment of pop success. In the early ’80s, Turner was free of her abusive ex-husband Ike and trying to mount a comeback, something that simply did not seem possible for a middle-aged Black woman whose biggest hits were more than a decade old. But Turner went to the UK and worked with some sharp young rock and new wave writers and producers, and she released Private Dancer, the grand and historic return that went quintuple platinum and spawned the #1 hit “What’s Love Got To Do With It.” Now, there’s a 40th-anniversary Private Dancer box set on the way, and a previously unreleased song arrives today.
