Love Is a Beautiful ThingTina Turner

Been so long since I left you
Do all the things you used to do
In all this time I can't forget you
Everywhere I turn I think of you
And I, I wanna trust you baby
You, you're all I need

Soul to soul, Fire to fire
Nothing like this man's desire
Love is a beautiful thing
One and one, you and me
Baby it's our destiny
Love is a beautiful thing

Love is such a sweet emotion
I wanna share it all with you
With your trust and endless devotion
There ain't nothing in this world we can't do
Tonight, I wanna thank you baby
You, you make my life complete

Soul to soul, fire to fire
Nothing like this man's desire
Love is a beautiful thing
One and one, you and me
Maybe it's our destiny
Love is a beautiful thing

Tonight, I wanna thank you baby
You, you make my soul complete

Soul to soul, fire to fire
Nothing like this man's desire
Love is a beautiful thing
One and one, you and me
Maybe it's our destiny
Love is a beautiful thing

Tina Turner

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.
