What's Love Got to Do with It

"What's Love Got to Do with It" is a song recorded by the American singer Tina Turner, released in 1984. It was taken from her fifth solo album, Private Dancer, and became Turner's most successful single. Although Turner had already scored a late-1983 Top 30 hit with her rendition of "Let's Stay Together", "What's Love Got to Do with It" gave Turner her first and only Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single, selling over 1.5 million copies worldwide. At the time, aged 44, she became the oldest solo female artist to top the Hot 100 chart. It was the second-biggest single of 1984 in the U.S. and the 17th-biggest in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at number three. It ranked second on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1984. The song received three awards at the 1985 Grammy Awards: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. In 1993, the song's title was used as the title for the biographical film about Turner's life. In 2012, "What's Love Got to Do with It" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, giving Turner her third Grammy Hall of Fame Award.[1] The song ranked number 309 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". It also ranked number 38 on the Songs of the Century list. Several musical artists have covered the song and experienced commercial success with their recordings. American rapper Warren G released a hip-hop version in 1996, and in July 2020, Norwegian DJ and producer Kygo released a remix of the song.
