Tina Turner-"Private Dancer" (1984)

At the end of the seventies Tina Turner ended her artistic and emotional relationship with Ike Turner after more than 15 years, from then on the singer would begin a solo career full of successes.
However, her first jobs went completely unnoticed, the tortuous ending with Ike and this hesitant beginning put her career on the verge of disaster.
But in 1984 and thanks to the album "Private Dancer" Tina Turner managed to return to the top with an album that achieved the incredible figure of more than twenty million copies sold.
For this album, Capitol Records, his new label, put at his command a large number of musicians, producers and recording studios, among others were some components of the Dire Straits, Jeff Beck, Mel Collins, Rupert Hine, Joe Sample or Hal Lindes.
"Private Dancer" would be an exceptional album with a repertoire full of versions of classics adapted to modern rock such as "Let's Stay Together" by Al Green, "Help" by The Beatles, "1984" by David Bowie, or "I Can. ´t Stand the Rain "by Ann Peebles, as well as extraordinary songs like the ballad" "Whats Love Got it Do With it" or "Private Dancer", a song composed by Mark Knopfler that was originally going to be included in the Dire Straits album "Love Over Gold" and was finally never included.
