The
late great Tina Turner, one of the world’s most popular
entertainers who died in 2023 after a long illness in her home
in Küsnacht near Zurich, left behind a vast catalog of classics.
And now, there's a previously unreleased song to enjoy: “Hot For
You Baby," a rowdy ‘80s rock song marked by Turner’s husky tone
— effortlessly cool and cheery at the same time.
It is the first previously unreleased song featured on the
forthcoming 40th anniversary edition of her career-defining
album, “Private Dancer," out March 21. The record will be
available in a number of formats, including a 5 CD/Blu-ray
version that includes a few never-before-released tracks, live
performances and music videos.
“Hot For You Baby,” written by Australian singer John Paul Young
and produced by John Carter, was originally meant to be included
on the 1984 album.
“Private Dancer” peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, but it
produced Turner's sole No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100:
“What's Love Got to Do With It.” It is one of many timeless
tunes across her body of work: “Proud Mary,” “Nutbush City
Limits,” “River Deep, Mountain High,” “We Don’t Need Another
Hero” and a cover of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together" among
them.
