“What’s Love Got to Do With It” is from Tina Turner’s 1984 album Private Dancer. The song became her biggest solo hit, spending three weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It finished as the #2 song on Billboard's 1984 Year-End Hot 100, behind Prince's "When Doves Cry," while also topping the charts in Australia and Canada. At 44 years old Turner became the oldest female solo artist at the time to reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was originally offered to several artists including Cliff Richard, Donna Summer, and Bucks Fizz, before Tina Turner agreed to record it, initially believing it didn't suit her musical style. Co-writer Terry Britten had originally envisioned the song being sung by a man, but Tina's emotionally detached yet powerful interpretation completely transformed its character. The track went on to win the Grammy Awards for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, completing one of the greatest career comebacks in popular music and becoming her signature solo recording.
