VIDEO | Everyone thought we'd never hear it: Tina Turner's unreleased song sees the light of day

The song "Hot for You, Baby" by Tina Turner, which was intended for her fifth solo album, "Private Dancer," has finally seen the light of day. "Hot for You, Baby" was featured on BBC Radio 2's show with Mark Goodyear, as part of the "Private Dancer" edition to mark the 40th anniversary of the album's release.

As is known, the album "Private Dancer" was released in May 1984 and restored Turner's fame after she escaped an abusive marriage to musician John Lennon in the XNUMXs. Ike Turner.

During that period, she was penniless and lived on food stamps. She had a cabaret gig, from which she paid off her debts. After the Rolling Stones invited her on their American tour and after an invitation from Rod Stewart to perform with him on "Saturday Night Live," he realized he still had fans in the UK.

It was long believed that the lost song "Hot for You, Baby" was recorded at Capitol Studios in Hollywood, but was left off the singer's fifth album to make way for hits like "What's Love Got to Do with It" and "Better Be Good to Me."

"Private Dancer" peaked at number one in the US and earned Turner four Grammy Awards.

"Hot for You, Baby" was written by musicians George Young and Harry Wanda, and produced by John Carter, who, despite the label's doubts, signed Turner to a deal with Capitol.

The special edition of this album will be released on March 21st and will include previously unreleased songs, live performances and recordings. It will be available on CD, vinyl and Blu-ray.

"Hearing something new from Tina Turner is a real treat for fans of all generations and a reminder of her unique talent. I was lucky enough to interview Tina and see her perform live. She was an incredibly good performer and at the same time an extraordinarily graceful lady, whose every note was shaped by her incredible life," said Goodyear.

Turner died at the age of 83 of natural causes at her home in Kusnacht, near Zurich, Switzerland, in 2023. In one of her final statements to the media, she revealed how she would like to be remembered and what scared her about aging. "As the queen of rock and roll. As the woman who showed other women that it was okay to strive for success on their own terms," ​​she said, referring to aging:

"Nothing. This is a life adventure, and I embrace each day with everything it brings," she said.
