Tina Turner

Released: October 22, 1991

[Verse 1]
Baby i need a hand to hold tonight
And one bright star to remind me
How dear is this life
Baby i've never known anyone like you
There's something very special about you
I can't imagine living without you

[Chorus]
It's the way of the world and it's motion
And no ocean can keep us apart
When the moment is right
And you're holding me tight
You capture the beat of my heart
In my heart there's a fire that's burning
And there isn't a thing i can do
I'm resigned to the fact
That there's no turning back
And i'll never regret loving you

[Verse 2]
Baby i will go anywhere you lead
As long as you're there beside me
Baby that's all i need
Hold me hold me and never let me go
I'm always gonna care about you
I never want to be without you

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
You're everything i believe in
Don't ever lose the feeling
Don't ever lose the feeling no

[Outro]
It's the way of the world and it's motion
And no ocean can keep us apart
When the moment is right
And you're holding me tight

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.
