Tina Turner

Released: September 23, 1986

[Verse 1]
There'll be a storm one night
Then I'll fly to you for shelter
Soaked in welcome rain
Falling to forbidden arms

[Chorus 1]
Too breathless
Too helpless
Too restless
To explain needing you

[Verse 2]
There'll be a storm one night
But you will find my place of hiding
We'll watch the lights like children
Leave the fortress hand in hand

[Chorus 2]
I'll be thunder, you'll be lightning
I'll be thunder, you'll be lightning
And we'll collide, on dry land

[Verse 3]
There'll be a storm one night
And I will find no other rescue
Lost and far from home
Crying for some guiding light

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 4]
There'll be a storm one night
The wind will drive me to your castle
And you'll ignite the fire
As if everything were planned

[Chorus 2]

[Bridge]
(I'll be thunder, you'll be lightning)
There will be storm one night
(I'll be thunder, you'll be lightning)
There will be storm one night
(I'll be thunder, you'll be lightning)
You will find my place of hiding
Yeah, I will come to you, girl I will come to you

[Chorus 2]

[Outro]
No betrayal, no denial
No need to explain
We'll collide

Often dubbed the Queen of Rock & Roll, Tina Turner is arguably among the most iconic of female divas in history, with her prolific career and memorable personality as a performer and a public figure. Hailing from a small town in Tennessee, and born Anna Mae Bullock, Turner has cemented herself as one of music’s greatest entertainers.

Turner’s career in music arose from her frequenting of nightclubs near St. Louis, where she would meet her soon-to-be husband Ike Turner, who would also give her the alias “Tina”. With Ike, she would form the famous Ike And Tina Turner Revue. A dynamic, explosive R&B ensemble, the two became the definition of the genre in the late 60s and early 70s, where R&B/Soul had only tiptoed into the realms of the mainstream. A particularly influential act in popularizing the genre, the Revue went on to release some of music’s most memorable and iconic tracks – a cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Proud Mary”, the Phil Spector-penned “River Deep – Mountain High”, and the electric “Nutbush City Limits”. After a host of drug and abuse problems on Ike’s part, with the male Turner eventually engaging in a violent altercation with his wife, Tina decided to leave her husband for the solo life – and it worked.

As a solo artist, with the help of fellow artists like glam rocker David Bowie, Turner tumbled into mainstream success in the 80s with the only number-one hit of her career – the unconquerable love ballad “What’s Love Got To Do With It” as part of her debut solo album, Private Dancer.
