In the late ’70s, Tina had finally gotten rid of husband Ike, who, while he was musically talented as all heck, was also an abusive drug addict. For this 1984 album, her first major solo project, she got together a pretty good crew: Dire Straits’ Mark Knopfler penned the title track, and Jeff Beck gave up a great guitar solo. But make no mistake, it’s the defiant, reborn Tina who delivers the business on tracks like “Show Some Respect,” a great cover of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” and, most satisfyingly, the still famous “What’s Love Got to Do with It.”
