Tina Turner

Bought me a bottle of wine
I'm gonna drink it tonight
And you can join me
It's gonna make us feel alright

Don't rush the good things
Don't rush the good things in life
Don't rush the good things
Don't rush the good things in life

I'm gonna sip it slowly
I'm not gonna rock it back
I am no historier, but I
I've learned from my past what I've learned

Don't rush the good things
Don't rush the good things in life
Don't rush the good things
Don't rush the good things in life

It's a slow job falling in love
It's a slow job
Falling in love, it's a slow job
Don't rush the good things tonight

You and me baby
No need to rush it tonight
'Cause we got all the time in the world
Get it back, get it back
Get it back, get it back
Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it

Don't rush the good things
Don't rush the good things in life
Don't rush the good things
Don't rush the good things in life

'Cause it's a slow job, falling in love
It's a slow job tonight
It's a slow job, falling in love
'Cause it's a slow job tonight

Don't rush the good things
Don't rush the good things in life
Don't rush the good things
Get it back, get it back
Get it back, get it back
Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it!

Don't rush the good things
Don't rush the good things tonight
We got all the time in the world
I said get it back, get it back
Get it back, get it back
Get it, get it, get it, get it...

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.
