This song was her comeback hit and her first hit as a solo artist. She left Ike ten years before and the music industry wouldn't touch her because she was too old and considered a "has been". But Tina didn't give up and didn't stop. She took every gig she could get and even languished in Vegas for a few years before blowing the doors off the music industry. This song became a #1 worldwide hit and started the second half of her career when he was 45. And the second half of her career (as a solo artist) FAR eclipsed the first half with Ike. She became HUGE in the 80s and 90s. HBO has a great documentary that came out last year called TINA that tell her whole story and serves as her farewell to her fans, definitely worth watching. She's in her 80s now and not in the greatest of health but she is LIVING LEGEND with so many great songs to explore from the early 60s to 00's. Wave that TINA flag, y'all...she is a bonafide survivor, thriver and ICON.
In the 80's if you were in your 40's you were considered AINCIENT lol. The Travelling Wilbury's were like pensioners and if you look at their ages at the time they were only in their 40's!
100% on the money. And remember her hair is always a,wig because of an accident at a hairdresser when she was still on tour with One. I went to see her live when she went on the What's Love tour in 1993. There were these twenty year old guys behind us screaming "Tina!! Let us be your love slaves!"
This is the iconic rebirth of Tina Turner who was already iconic. She was free from Ike Turner and she owned her name, her music. She shot ALL of her naysayers down who said that she was done and that they didn't want to do anything new with her. On top of that she was a consummate performer that slayed people more than half her age on stage. I love Tina Turner. I was so happy to see her as a black woman on MTV with countless hits for me as a black girl absolutely needing that representation.
And she looked hardly any different in her final concerts at the age of 70 - and made her 20-something backup dancer look shabby in comparison. Looks like her concert exercise has kept he in great shape - never mind having the luck of great genes! Favorite story about her - a friend talked he into going with her to a pilates class. 2 hours later, the instructor was wiped out, and Tine had hardly broken a sweat!
I came to this video the day after Tina's passing was announced. She had a long and stunning career, and worked her butt off for it. The thing that sticks in my mind is the reputation she had for treating her band and crew like family. That's a trademark of the best lead performers. She may be gone, but she left a legacy few can match.
Tina Turner launched one of the greatest comebacks in music history. This started in 1983 when she teamed up with 'Heaven 17' to sing 'Let's Stay Together' (Al Green Song). She then basically ruled the 80s and 90s.
Around the time her "Private Dancer" album came out, she also did the duet "It's Only Love" with Bryan Adams, which was included on his "Reckless" album.
Stevie Wonder on harmonica. This was her big comeback -- the record industry had pretty much written her off at this point. She's the second woman to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice -- Stevie Nicks was the first.
Tina's passing this week has brought me back to listen to her songs. She was such an iconic part of my teenage years. Her comeback album came out my senior year of highschool. Such a beautiful woman. One of the 80's superstars.
Tina Turner is the "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll". She has spanned over 6 decades of music. She started out with her husband Ike & had some great hits such as "It's Gonna Work Out Fine", "River Deep-Mountain High", "Proud Mary" & "Nutbush City Limits". But she had even bigger hits when she went solo such as "What's Love Got To Do With It", "Better Be Good To Me", "Private Dancer", "We Don't Need Another Hero (from Thunderdome)", "Typical Male", "The Best", "I Don't Wanna Fight", "GoldenEye" (James Bond movie) etc. Turner also released a duet with Bryan Adams "It's Only Love".
Simply the Best is one of my favorites. It has a lot of saxophone and they have to watch it live! They need to see those million dollar legs. This woman is amazing and in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame twice.
Did you see her gorgeous legs? Along with her impressive vocals, lively dance moves, and iconic hair, Tina Turner's legs have become one of her signature features. Often flaunting them in sparkly mini dresses on stage, the star's pins were insured for $3.2 million and she even dedicated a song to them in 1994.
Lol, one of my favorite commercials for a radio channel says, "Bob's got the legs of Tina Turner and the arms of Arnold Schwarzenegger and a lifetime ban from the wax museum" lol, but her legs are legendary!!
Guys you need to watch the movie “What’s love got to do with it” Angela Bassett plays Tina Turner. It’s the story of her life with Ike. IT IS A MUST SEE!!! I LOVE Tina but I gained so much more respect for her when I saw what she went through and who she became.
Absolutely a must see! Tina has faced so many obstacles in her life and overcame it all! I loved that movie, I cried, I got angry, heartbroken, and just have so much respect for her strength through it all!!! What a woman!
Figures.... Tina started in 1960 with Ike Turner, and Janis became REALLY famous by the late 1960's, when Tina and Ike were releasing big hits.... messes with your concept of time hahaha
NUTBUSH CITY IS A MUST!!! Actually any song by Tina is great, she has quite the voice and legs as the men would tell you!! LOVE THE MERCH!! P.S. WAtch the movie about her life !
I agree to that they MUST watch the movie I knew of her before the movie but once I saw it I then felt happy for her for doing what she loves to do and just continued even after what she had to go through
I believe the movie about Tina Turner is called What's love got to do with it. The final scene in the movie showed what a mentally emotionally strong woman Ms . Turner is !
The video for this is so iconic. I'm glad you're watching the original video. This led to a whole new generation enjoying Tina Turner's music. Her voice still gives me goosebumps!
Great pick for Fee-male Friday!! Tina is a rock goddess of the highest stature! This song was also the title of the 1993 bio-pic about Tina Turner, starring Angela Bassett in a phenomenal portrayal and Laurence Fishburne as the brilliant but abusively brutal Ike Turner. A must watch. 🔥🤙
Still gives me chills. Her amazing comeback after incredibly difficult times. One of my all-time SHEROES. I saw this concert in a small club just a few feet from the stage - just INCREDIBLE. The album was a HUGE HIT. Love her with all my ❤️
She Is the ultimate Queen of Rock 'N' Roll! She could sing a grocery list and make a hit of it! I vote that you should react to "It's Only Love (a duet with Bryan Adams)" but the truth is you could spend the next 8 or 9 months just reacting to all her songs
TINA!!! Wow - after she got Ike’s boot off her neck she soared! Powerful voice, great songs, dancer with legs that went on forever and she brought us great joy.
One of my biggest sheroes. Tina endured so much abuse and pain She reinvented herself in her 40's when the industry turned their nose at her. She persevered ,rose above it to become a much respected, strong icon that so many look up to. Deep dive she has so many amazing hits You Better Be Good To Me should be next. Long live the Queen 👑🙌
I don't know that there's a better comeback story. Private Dancer is a great album. Listen to how she has a million little fills and ad libs in her phrasing. Amazing! Love Miss Tina!
I was fortunate enough to see her in concert 4 times. She was in her late 60's the last time I saw her. They were some of the best concerts I've seen. You need to watch the live concert version of Nutbush City Limits!
The beautiful part is watching you guys react to this, close to 40 years after I caught it for the first time on late-night TV… and damned if Tina doesn’t rattle my cage EVERY bit as hard now as then. What’s even more amazing is that she’s often said she never cared much for the song itself, and yet she still gave it everything she had. A vocal performance for the ages. Oh yeah, and them LEGS.😍🎶😊
Amber is feeling it!! Love the new shirts! You two are adorable!! TINA IS A NATIONAL TREASURE. 80S hair for sure. Leather mini skirts and spike heels. That's what we all wore!! Music and fashion so connected and women were women..not wearing running suits and sneakers!! Miss the 80s...
This was a hit but her cover of AL GREEN's "LET's STAY TOGETHER" in Europe was what kickstarted her comeback! It was a hit in clubs and college radio, leading to the recording of this album!
This was the song that, in 1984, put her back on the musical map at the ripe old age of 45. She proceeded to own the world for the next twelve years. You should check out her cover of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together", "(Simply) The Best", "Typical Male", and my personal fave, "We Don't Need Another Hero" (from the movie Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, a film where she actually starred as the villainess! Add that to your movie list!) And you like the hair? Into her SEVENTIES, she had the best legs in the business!
For years Tina was spokesperson for L’Eggs energy pantyhose if I understand it lasted into her 60’s despite all the younger people coming up. She is the best.
YES!!! So glad you got to this one. This song launched her comeback in the business, after she broke away from the abusive Ike Turner. By the way this entire album was legendary!
I was part of the MTV generation and I remember MTV plugging this video and being awestruck that she was in her 40's and could look so good. Back then 40 was old to me haha I fell in love with this song and Tina who I had never heard of before this video. She died today I saw on News,,,, so sad. RIP Tina you were a force to be reckoned with and your music will live on.
Tina’s comeback in the ‘80s was a beautiful thing. She had such a commanding presence and that voice! I saw her in concert during this period (Cindy Lauper opened for her - she was great, too) and she was fabulous.
Tina is one of those women who come along only a few times a lifetime that still exude their sexiness well into their 70s. Tina, Sopia Loren, Ann Margaret, and a few other women, make men know that not only young women are awesome.
Yey, Tina's comeback in the 80s - and what a comeback! She got bigger that ever, now without her violent husband. My favorite from that era is Simply The Best! Please react to a live version.
One of the best 80s songs/ videos. She is an icon. I saw a show one time where someone was asking a guy (can’t remember his name) who his favorite interview was and he said hands down Tina Turner was the sexiest interview he had ever done.
Just Loved Her Entire "Private Dancer" Album! So Many Sexy, Great Hits! This Was Made LONG After Her Tumultuous Split With Husband Ike. She was So Lucky To Have Made It out of That ALIVE! ❤❤❤❤
Tina had a minor hit in 1983 with "Let's stay together". But came back in 1984 with this, her one and only Billboard number one hit. This song was on the radio non stop back then. It was on so much, that I got fed up hearing it!
LEGEND! The second coming of Tina Turner in the 80's where she was packing arenas right along side U2, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, and Prince. Forever one of my favorites!
You have to admire Tina, she is an icon! Her survival after Ike, makes others realize that you can walk tall after a tough situation. I love Tina Turner!
Saw Tina Turner in The Netherlands, in 2009 , when she was 70 years old!! Still rocking it with a little bit less wild hair 😉 but still with the leggs to be jealous off and a great voice! Love her!!! ,🎤🎶💜
Tina's hair is/was her own creation. She's always said she's never been an rnb/blues fan. She's a rocker and she has the ultimate rock voice. Plus Tina is from the 60s and the 60s kinda came back and was a huge influence i think throughout the whole decade. So she already had that vocal background. Most voices in the 80s are huge voices, cuz most of those artists were influenced/born in the 60s. Her voice kinda reminds me of the Queen of the Blues Koko Taylor. One of those supreme Blues voices. Tina has definitely got a whole lotta that.
This song and album won everything at the '85 Grammy's. She was always off the charts great, but this album sent her into the stratosphere, RIP Tina T.
Well, you guys wanted some back-ground, here goes. This was the first hit song that Tina could call her own since she left Ike. After the divorce, Tina was stuck doing old songs and disco songs in her Vegas act for many years. If she did appear on TV, it was old songs, silly skits, and talk shows was of course about Ike. My Mom loved her but people my age; frankly had written her off as a has-been. It was only after Tina began working with music producer Roger Davies, who wisely listened to her, that Tina found her OWN sound. In 1984 when Tina was 44 years old, she released the album "Private Dancer' and made history. No one had ever revived their career like she did. In 1985, the Private Dancer Tour came to my hometown and my friend surprised me with tickets. Well, I was b!+@#ing the whole night...about I didn't want to see my mother's fav...etc. and so on. It took 1 song for me to shut up and another half of a song to get me on my feet screaming. And now all I can say is that Tina Turner, for the next 25 - 30 years danced and rocked my soul. And I still go back and watch her vids. and live performances. She had something with Ike....but TINA alone...OUTSTANDING. Her look was Tina's alone. The last time I saw her live in concert she was well into her sixties, and she still looked 40 something. Tina is also known for her beautiful legs, which she went out of her way to feature and emphasize in her performances and videos.
Even when she was well into her upper years, I always thought she had the greatest legs ever. I can't swear to it, but I've even heard they were "insured"?!
This is one of those songs that really makes me wish I was stuck in the 80's. I'm feeling a bit nostalgic right now. Tina had several great songs in the 80's. My favorite is "We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)." You also have to listen to her rock out with Bryan Adams on "It's Only Love."
Love Tina Turner…my step dad was obsessed with her 😻😻 and my mom still listens to her at 72 years 💚…Private Dancer is another good one from her… and pretty please do yourselves a favor and watch Fleetwood Mac do Rhiannon on The Midnight Special, 1976…They’re all incredible but Stevie especially shines 🤘🏼💕✨
Great reaction to the one and only Ms. Turner. If you haven't done so yet, I'd love it if you went waaay back to the great Peggy Lee, with "Fever". (no, I'm not quite that old, but I love music from all eras and Peggy Lee can sell it with a look and a note. Thanks, cee
The album Private Dancer by Tina Turner, from which this song hails, is one of those rare and special albums where every single song is awesome. What's Love Got to Do With It, Private Dancer, I Can't Stand the Rain, I Might Have Been Queen, and every other song on the album is outstanding.
If there's one word that sums up Tina Turner, as a talent, a performer, and as a woman in general, it's delicious. Smooth, beautiful, smart, the REAL DEAL.
The "big hair" was definitely a thing in the 80's/90's. This video was played over/over/over on MTV all hours of the day/night. And those legs... my goodness. Tina Turner was an icon and a survivor. 💖
This song (and that hair!) was my first exposure to Tina Turner as a kid way back in the 80s. She's a fantastic performer and one of my mom's favorite singers. A true legend.
I'm 69 years old and it does me does my heart good to know that young people like yours thoroughly enjoy music from my generation the 60s 70s and 80s. We have very soulful music very meaningful music. Thank you for your Channel.
I just heard she passed away. What a legendary musical artist, a very strong woman who’s been thru a lot as a woman. Asking My friend in LA if he can put some flowers on Tina Turner’s Star she has on the ground in Hollywood CA 4 me. May Tina Turner RIP!
Tina sang this in the 80's she was so beautiful and she was a strong woman and she acted in one movie called thunderdome one of my favorite movies and she was beautiful in that movie may she R.I.P gone to soon but she will always be loved ❤
I love Tina Turner, her style is beyond compare, but as much as I love her music, and love her as a beautiful human being. I love her deep spiritual nature. The reason I mention it is there's music by Tina along with 30 children from different cultures, and nations that have made some music featuring the religion of Buddhism Christianity Hinduism Judaism Islam, and Sikhism called Beyond, and Beyond children. It's the most beautiful music and mantras you can imagine the album constituted a remarkable shift in Tina's career as it was her first involvement in a spiritual project I recommend you listen to it I believe you'll enjoy it
Turner set two records when this song went to #1 on the Hot 100 on September 1, 1984. At 44, she became the oldest female solo artist ever to top the chart, a remarkable feat in an industry that prizes youth, especially among female singers.
Mrs Turner was finally inducted into the rock & roll hall of fame which was seriously overdue!!! Her songs are so strong & personal & her voice!!!! She was a born natural talent!!! Watch Ike & Tina 🤪
Tina Turner never failed to ROCK! This was part of her "comeback" and was a very popular song with lots of airplay. The hair was a trademark. Great Reaction as always. I really enjoy your reactions.
This song was her comeback hit and her first hit as a solo artist. She left Ike ten years before and the music industry wouldn't touch her because she was too old and considered a "has been". But Tina didn't give up and didn't stop. She took every gig she could get and even languished in Vegas for a few years before blowing the doors off the music industry. This song became a #1 worldwide hit and started the second half of her career when he was 45. And the second half of her career (as a solo artist) FAR eclipsed the first half with Ike. She became HUGE in the 80s and 90s. HBO has a great documentary that came out last year called TINA that tell her whole story and serves as her farewell to her fans, definitely worth watching. She's in her 80s now and not in the greatest of health but she is LIVING LEGEND with so many great songs to explore from the early 60s to 00's. Wave that TINA flag, y'all...she is a bonafide survivor, thriver and ICON.
Spot on!!!
That doc was fantastic. And now she's been inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame twice!
In the 80's if you were in your 40's you were considered AINCIENT lol. The Travelling Wilbury's were like pensioners and if you look at their ages at the time they were only in their 40's!
100% on the money. And remember her hair is always a,wig because of an accident at a hairdresser when she was still on tour with One. I went to see her live when she went on the What's Love tour in 1993. There were these twenty year old guys behind us screaming "Tina!! Let us be your love slaves!"
No it wasn't..."Let's stay together" was...my fav
This is the iconic rebirth of Tina Turner who was already iconic. She was free from Ike Turner and she owned her name, her music.

The Queen of Rock and Roll
Yay, Tina Turner's "comeback" in the 80s. She rocked everybody's world. Music, hair, legs for days, power! Just love all of her. A true legend.
The Lady. The Legend. Tina Turner.
You all know good music when you hear it….Tina Turner is awesome! Her legs are insured! lol!
Totally agree! Love Tina
i remember even leggs panty hose did 4 commercials with her, and the duets she did with Byron Adams, a hell of a comeback indeed.
What a great voice and a great set of gams to go along.
She's the greatest female rock singer of all time. Her voice and the way she moves.
🎤 ❤️ RIP Tina Turner
1984.... She was 45.. This woman has aged beautifully.
And she looked hardly any different in her final concerts at the age of 70 - and made her 20-something backup dancer look shabby in comparison. Looks like her concert exercise has kept he in great shape - never mind having the luck of great genes!
Favorite story about her - a friend talked he into going with her to a pilates class. 2 hours later, the instructor was wiped out, and Tine had hardly broken a sweat!
I came to this video the day after Tina's passing was announced. She had a long and stunning career, and worked her butt off for it. The thing that sticks in my mind is the reputation she had for treating her band and crew like family. That's a trademark of the best lead performers.

The Greatest
Tina was the queen of rock'n soul. I miss that girl.
Stevie Wonder on harmonica. This was her big comeback -- the record industry had pretty much written her off at this point. She's the second woman to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice -- Stevie Nicks was the first.
That's Billy Livsey, synthesizing the harmonica part on a Yamaha DX7. Stevie Wonder does not appear on the track.
Great catch on Stevie!!
That's a keyboard, not a harmonica.
Wow apart from Tina's powerhouse voice .I thought that harmonica playing was second to none ! Makes sense now .
Imo Stevie Didn't Deserve That
Tina's passing this week has brought me back to listen to her songs. She was such an iconic part of my teenage years. Her comeback album came out my senior year of highschool. Such a beautiful woman. One of the 80's superstars.
Tina Turner is the "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll". She has spanned over 6 decades of music. She started out with her husband Ike & had some great hits such as "It's Gonna Work Out Fine", "River Deep-Mountain High", "Proud Mary" & "Nutbush City Limits". But she had even bigger hits when she went solo such as "What's Love Got To Do With It", "Better Be Good To Me", "Private Dancer", "We Don't Need Another Hero (from Thunderdome)", "Typical Male", "The Best", "I Don't Wanna Fight", "GoldenEye" (James Bond movie) etc. Turner also released a duet with Bryan Adams "It's Only Love".
They've got to do the Thunderdome song with the video!~
"Nutbush City Limits" is one of my all-tme favorites of hers---as well as "Better Be Good to Me"!!
Don't forget about "do what you do" epic tune by Her Majesty Queen Tina, of Rock n Roll. 😍
Simply the Best is one of my favorites. It has a lot of saxophone and they have to watch it live! They need to see those million dollar legs. This woman is amazing and in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame twice.
Two of my favorites are "Let's Stay Together" & "Private Dancer".
R.I.P Queen of Rock!
Did you see her gorgeous legs? Along with her impressive vocals, lively dance moves, and iconic hair, Tina Turner's legs have become one of her signature features. Often flaunting them in sparkly mini dresses on stage, the star's pins were insured for $3.2 million and she even dedicated a song to them in 1994.
Lol, one of my favorite commercials for a radio channel says, "Bob's got the legs of Tina Turner and the arms of Arnold Schwarzenegger and a lifetime ban from the wax museum" lol, but her legs are legendary!!
Tina’s legs and signature hair styles are Iconic. Such a career and great music over many decades. Unmistakable voice. Love her!!
Guys you need to watch the movie “What’s love got to do with it” Angela Bassett plays Tina Turner. It’s the story of her life with Ike. IT IS A MUST SEE!!! I LOVE Tina but I gained so much more respect for her when I saw what she went through and who she became.
Absolutely a must see! Tina has faced so many obstacles in her life and overcame it all! I loved that movie, I cried, I got angry, heartbroken, and just have so much respect for her strength through it all!!! What a woman!
Love the movie
I can also recommend the movie with the same title.But make sure no kids - some scenes are horrific😢
Fun fact: Janis Joplin was one of the first admirers of Tina back in the 60s when she was still quite unknown and underrated
Yup the guy asked Janis Joplin who was her idol
Janis Joplin told Him
Tina,Tina Turner!!!
Figures.... Tina started in 1960 with Ike Turner, and Janis became REALLY famous by the late 1960's, when Tina and Ike were releasing big hits.... messes with your concept of time hahaha
NUTBUSH CITY IS A MUST!!! Actually any song by Tina is great, she has quite the voice and legs as the men would tell you!! LOVE THE MERCH!! P.S. WAtch the movie about her life !
I agree to that they MUST watch the movie I knew of her before the movie but once I saw it I then felt happy for her for doing what she loves to do and just continued even after what she had to go through
I believe the movie about Tina Turner is called What's love got to do with it.
The final scene in the movie showed what a mentally emotionally strong woman Ms . Turner is !
The video for this is so iconic. I'm glad you're watching the original video. This led to a whole new generation enjoying Tina Turner's music. Her voice still gives me goosebumps!
Great pick for Fee-male Friday!! Tina is a rock goddess of the highest stature! This song was also the title of the 1993 bio-pic about Tina Turner, starring Angela Bassett in a phenomenal portrayal and Laurence Fishburne as the brilliant but abusively brutal Ike Turner. A must watch. 🔥🤙
I absolutely agree!
Serious must watch!!! ❤️
TINA!!! She puts on a fantastic concert!
I love music! Her voice❤️
Tina is SIMPLY THE BEST. Great song and an amazing artist. Check out WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER HERO from the Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome
We don't need another Hero is soooo powerful!
I think among her esteemed catalog, it may be underrated.
Who runs Bartertown?
Still gives me chills. Her amazing comeback after incredibly difficult times. One of my all-time SHEROES. I saw this concert in a small club just a few feet from the stage - just INCREDIBLE. The album was a HUGE HIT. Love her with all my ❤️
This was my introduction to Tina when I was 14-- my mom was like "oh no, honey-- she's BEEN a HUUUGE star for YEARS!"
Same!!
RIP Tina Turner. May you sing with the angels. ❤❤
The legend lives on. ❤
She Is the ultimate Queen of Rock 'N' Roll! She could sing a grocery list and make a hit of it! I vote that you should react to "It's Only Love (a duet with Bryan Adams)" but the truth is you could spend the next 8 or 9 months just reacting to all her songs
For more of that grit, Nutbush City Limit has it in spades!
Tina was AWESOME!
You need to do Tina’s version of “Simply the Best”. She is….
TINA!!! Wow - after she got Ike’s boot off her neck she soared! Powerful voice, great songs, dancer with legs that went on forever and she brought us great joy.
Absolute Legend...She's sadly retired from performing due to health reasons but absolute one the best singer's in history & Iconic for her style
One of my biggest sheroes. Tina endured so much abuse and pain She reinvented herself in her 40's when the industry turned their nose at her. She persevered ,rose above it to become a much respected, strong icon that so many look up to. Deep dive she has so many amazing hits You Better Be Good To Me should be next. Long live the Queen 👑🙌
You can never go wrong with Tina - one of the best rock performers ever! Her concerts were unbelievable.
And those legs! :)
Yeah legs to die for
I don't know that there's a better comeback story. Private Dancer is a great album. Listen to how she has a million little fills and ad libs in her phrasing. Amazing! Love Miss Tina!
I was fortunate enough to see her in concert 4 times. She was in her late 60's the last time I saw her. They were some of the best concerts I've seen. You need to watch the live concert version of Nutbush City Limits!

I know you're right, but OMG, how can this song be almost 40 years old??
Amber is feeling it!! Love the new shirts! You two are adorable!! TINA IS A NATIONAL TREASURE. 80S hair for sure. Leather mini skirts and spike heels. That's what we all wore!! Music and fashion so connected and women were women..not wearing running suits and sneakers!! Miss the 80s...
I miss the 80’s too. I still have my trench coat.
Best whiskey voice with the best legs in all of rockdom.
Isn't she a gem what a lady❤😊
The best concert I ever went to was Tina Turner's Private Dancer Tour. She was so amazing to watch and listen too!!
I saw that tour also and it was unbelieveable!
This was a hit but her cover of AL GREEN's "LET's STAY TOGETHER" in Europe was what kickstarted her comeback! It was a hit in clubs and college radio, leading to the recording of this album!

For years Tina was spokesperson for L’Eggs energy pantyhose if I understand it lasted into her 60’s despite all the younger people coming up. She is the best.
Tina Turner Holy crap If you were not subdued by the sheer voice and presence. She probably has the best legs in human history.
This was the song that started her comeback.
R.I.P the queen of rock and roll tina turner
YES!!! So glad you got to this one. This song launched her comeback in the business, after she broke away from the abusive Ike Turner. By the way this entire album was legendary!
I was part of the MTV generation and I remember MTV plugging this video and being awestruck that she was in her 40's and could look so good. Back then 40 was old to me haha I fell in love with this song and Tina who I had never heard of before this video. She died today I saw on News,,,, so sad. RIP Tina you were a force to be reckoned with and your music will live on.
Tina’s comeback in the ‘80s was a beautiful thing. She had such a commanding presence and that voice! I saw her in concert during this period (Cindy Lauper opened for her - she was great, too) and she was fabulous.
I saw that tour. It was AMAZING
Rest in peace, Tina Turner. You were simply the best.
Tina from Nutbush Tennessee. Another great TN artist.
Tina Turner definitely had her own style! Iconic!
Tina is one of those women who come along only a few times a lifetime that still exude their sexiness well into their 70s. Tina, Sopia Loren, Ann Margaret, and a few other women, make men know that not only young women are awesome.
Yey, Tina's comeback in the 80s - and what a comeback! She got bigger that ever, now without her violent husband. My favorite from that era is Simply The Best! Please react to a live version.
Such an inspiration! I love "I Don't Want To Fight ".
She was way more talented than Ike and he couldn't handle it.
love simply the best!
One of the best 80s songs/ videos. She is an icon. I saw a show one time where someone was asking a guy (can’t remember his name) who his favorite interview was and he said hands down Tina Turner was the sexiest interview he had ever done.
Amazing singer. Try “Private Dancer” or “ Better Be Good To Me”. 💕 Adore the shirts.
All Hail Tina! One of THE ‘greats’ of all time. She lived in London for several years, and was treated like a Princess by everyone.
It was hard not to fall in love with her back in the 80’s. She was all that and then some. Her look (and hair) was all her own.
Tina Turner was the goddess of the 80,s , saw her in concert twice . Tina had the greatest legs in the business !
“Nutbush City Limits” and “River Deep Mountain High” are two of my favorites, please add them to your list 🙏🏼.
Tina Turner is a one of a kind talent! Gotta love not only her voice but that strut and legs that won't quit! lol
Not too many can make a grand comeback in their 40s and 50s! Queen Tina did. It’s hard to believe she’s 82 today.
Just Loved Her Entire "Private Dancer" Album! So Many Sexy, Great Hits! This Was Made LONG After Her Tumultuous Split With Husband Ike. She was So Lucky To Have Made It out of That ALIVE! ❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Tina had a minor hit in 1983 with "Let's stay together". But came back in 1984 with this, her one and only Billboard number one hit. This song was on the radio non stop back then. It was on so much, that I got fed up hearing it!
LEGEND! The second coming of Tina Turner in the 80's where she was packing arenas right along side U2, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, and Prince. Forever one of my favorites!
You have to admire Tina, she is an icon! Her survival after Ike, makes others realize that you can walk tall after a tough situation. I love Tina Turner!
That song was first released in 1984 from her "Private Dancer" album. The woman is a force of nature!
Saw Tina Turner in The Netherlands, in 2009 , when she was 70 years old!! Still rocking it with a little bit less wild hair 😉 but still with the leggs to be jealous off and a great voice!
Love her!!! ,🎤🎶💜
TINA!! nuff said. . . SIMPLY THE BEST should be the next one you listen to. PLEASE n THANK YOU!! You guys really do make me smile❣️😁😁
Tina's hair is/was her own creation. She's always said she's never been an rnb/blues fan. She's a rocker and she has the ultimate rock voice. Plus Tina is from the 60s and the 60s kinda came back and was a huge influence i think throughout the whole decade. So she already had that vocal background. Most voices in the 80s are huge voices, cuz most of those artists were influenced/born in the 60s.
Her voice kinda reminds me of the Queen of the Blues Koko Taylor. One of those supreme Blues voices. Tina has definitely got a whole lotta that.
she taught a whole generation of young women how to walk in high heels effortlessly. A true musical icon.
And how to stay strong, hence the Winner she became, and is !!!
This song and album won everything at the '85 Grammy's. She was always off the charts great, but this album sent her into the stratosphere, RIP Tina T.
Well, you guys wanted some back-ground, here goes. This was the first hit song that Tina could call her own since she left Ike. After the divorce, Tina was stuck doing old songs and disco songs in her Vegas act for many years. If she did appear on TV, it was old songs, silly skits, and talk shows was of course about Ike. My Mom loved her but people my age; frankly had written her off as a has-been. It was only after Tina began working with music producer Roger Davies, who wisely listened to her, that Tina found her OWN sound. In 1984 when Tina was 44 years old, she released the album "Private Dancer' and made history. No one had ever revived their career like she did. In 1985, the Private Dancer Tour came to my hometown and my friend surprised me with tickets. Well, I was b!+@#ing the whole night...about I didn't want to see my mother's fav...etc. and so on. It took 1 song for me to shut up and another half of a song to get me on my feet screaming. And now all I can say is that Tina Turner, for the next 25 - 30 years danced and rocked my soul. And I still go back and watch her vids. and live performances. She had something with Ike....but TINA alone...OUTSTANDING. Her look was Tina's alone. The last time I saw her live in concert she was well into her sixties, and she still looked 40 something. Tina is also known for her beautiful legs, which she went out of her way to feature and emphasize in her performances and videos.
Even when she was well into her upper years, I always thought she had the greatest legs ever. I can't swear to it, but I've even heard they were "insured"?!
@@DavidBrianPaley They were insured.😆😆😆😉
@@DavidBrianPaley They Still Are
I enjoyed that very much Tina's voice sounds like a decadent desert Thank you Amber.
Rest in Peace Tina!!!!
This is one of those songs that really makes me wish I was stuck in the 80's. I'm feeling a bit nostalgic right now. Tina had several great songs in the 80's. My favorite is "We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)." You also have to listen to her rock out with Bryan Adams on "It's Only Love."
Tina is the Queen of soul.
You definitely should watch this movie(same title as the song) about her life. It’s really, really good 😊
7:31 The actress that Tina taps on the shoulder (Vanessa Bell Callaway) starred in Tina Turner's 1993 biopic playing her best friend.
Love Tina Turner…my step dad was obsessed with her 😻😻 and my mom still listens to her at 72 years 💚…Private Dancer is another good one from her… and pretty please do yourselves a favor and watch Fleetwood Mac do Rhiannon on The Midnight Special, 1976…They’re all incredible but Stevie especially shines 🤘🏼💕✨
I'll never understand someone who has never heard this song.... Tina Turner was so great!!
Definitely one of the queens of rock and roll
Tina Turner was awesome. What a great example of a strong, successful, resilient woman!!
Great reaction to the one and only Ms. Turner. If you haven't done so yet, I'd love it if you went waaay back to the great Peggy Lee, with "Fever". (no, I'm not quite that old, but I love music from all eras and Peggy Lee can sell it with a look and a note. Thanks, cee
The album Private Dancer by Tina Turner, from which this song hails, is one of those rare and special albums where every single song is awesome. What's Love Got to Do With It, Private Dancer, I Can't Stand the Rain, I Might Have Been Queen, and every other song on the album is outstanding.
If there's one word that sums up Tina Turner, as a talent, a performer, and as a woman in general, it's delicious.
Smooth, beautiful, smart, the REAL DEAL.
The "big hair" was definitely a thing in the 80's/90's. This video was played over/over/over on MTV all hours of the day/night. And those legs... my goodness. Tina Turner was an icon and a survivor. 💖
She also did a duet with Bryan Adams - It's Only Love.
This song (and that hair!) was my first exposure to Tina Turner as a kid way back in the 80s. She's a fantastic performer and one of my mom's favorite singers. A true legend.
Tina is a pure entertainer! Yes, The Charismatic Voice is Elizabeth Zharoff! She is Brilliant!
Tina Turner is the Queen! I love her. You know she was in mad max thunderdome. She can sing,act and dance!
What an iconic performer!!🤘🔥
I'm 69 years old and it does me does my heart good to know that young people like yours thoroughly enjoy music from my generation the 60s 70s and 80s. We have very soulful music very meaningful music. Thank you for your Channel.
I love her singing with Santana on Game of Love. Try her Private Dancer Album, her duet with Brian Adams, as well!
I just heard she passed away. What a legendary musical artist, a very strong woman who’s been thru a lot as a woman. Asking My friend in LA if he can put some flowers on Tina Turner’s Star she has on the ground in Hollywood CA 4 me. May Tina Turner RIP!
This was her comeback album ! It made her a huge star to which she has remained! She was 44 years old when this came out . This came out in 1984
Tina Turner -Proud Mary . A must !
I had the privilege of being at one of her comeback concerts at the Ventura fairgrounds in 1984. What a concert. Wow.
Tina sang this in the 80's she was so beautiful and she was a strong woman and she acted in one movie called thunderdome one of my favorite movies and she was beautiful in that movie may she R.I.P gone to soon but she will always be loved ❤
I love Tina Turner, her style is beyond compare, but as much as I love her music, and love her as a beautiful human being. I love her deep spiritual nature. The reason I mention it is there's music by Tina along with 30 children from different cultures, and nations that have made some music featuring the religion of Buddhism Christianity Hinduism Judaism Islam, and Sikhism called Beyond, and Beyond children. It's the most beautiful music and mantras you can imagine the album constituted a remarkable shift in Tina's career as it was her first involvement in a spiritual project I recommend you listen to it I believe you'll enjoy it
Turner set two records when this song went to #1 on the Hot 100 on September 1, 1984. At 44, she became the oldest female solo artist ever to top the chart, a remarkable feat in an industry that prizes youth, especially among female singers.
Mrs Turner was finally inducted into the rock & roll hall of fame which was seriously overdue!!! Her songs are so strong & personal & her voice!!!! She was a born natural talent!!! Watch Ike & Tina 🤪
She's in the Rock Hall of Fame twice. Once as the duo and one for her solo achievements.
She is absolute gold! Can't love Tina enough
Tina Turner never failed to ROCK! This was part of her "comeback" and was a very popular song with lots of airplay. The hair was a trademark. Great Reaction as always. I really enjoy your reactions.
