Love Songs

One could argue that nearly every song Tina Turner sang was a "love song" to some degree. But this album—intended as a perfect Valentine’s Day gift for pop and soul music fans everywhere—brings out many of the biggest love songs in the catalog of this Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee. An eight-time GRAMMY Award winner, Turner charted more than 15 solo hit singles on the Billboard Hot 100 charts; she started her streak on Jan. 21, 1984, with a version of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” and continued with such fan favorites as “What’s Love Got to Do with It” and “Private Dancer," plus later hits like “The Best” and a take on John Waite’s “Missing You.” Previously, as half of Ike & Tina Turner, she scored 20 hits from 1960 through 1975, including the Phil Spector–produced “River Deep Mountain High”; that track sends off this fine collection.
