Private Dancer
''Private Dancer'' is the fifth solo studio album by recording artist Tina Turner. Marking her debut with the record company, it was released by Capitol Records in May 1984. Recording sessions for the album took place at several studios in England and was overseen by four different production teams, including Rupert Hine, and Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh of Heaven 17. A radical departure from the rhythm and blues sound Turner had performed with her former husband and performing partner Ike Turner, the tracks in the album are a mixture of uptempos and ballads, which are basically inspired by pop and rock genres; it also features elements of smooth jazz and R&B.
After several challenging years of going solo after divorcing Ike, ''Private Dancer'' propelled Turner in becoming a viable solo star, as well as one of the most marketable crossover singers in the recording industry. It became a worldwide commercial success, earning multi-platinum certifications in Australia, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States. To date, it remains her best-selling album in North America. ''Private Dancer'' produced seven singles, including "What's Love Got to Do with It", "Better Be Good to Me", "Private Dancer", and "Let's Stay Together". Positively received by critics on release for Turner's ability to give energy and raw emotion to slickly produced professional pop/rock songs; its long term legacy is that the softening of her raw Southern soul style produced a "landmark" in the "evolution of pop-soul music".〔 The album was promoted throughout 1985 in a 177 date worldwide tour called the Private Dancer Tour.
==Background and production==
A&R man John Carter of Capitol Records is credited with relaunching the career of Tina Turner in the 1980s.〔("Passings: Bill Summers, John S. Carter, Ruth C. Cole". ) ''Los Angeles Times'' 24 May 2011. Retrieved 25 February 2012.〕 In 1983, despite opposition from within Capitol, he signed her and managed her first album for the label, ''Private Dancer''. The album itself was produced in England using several different producers.〔
"Let's Stay Together" was produced by Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh of British band Heaven 17. Terry Britten produced the reggae-tinged "What's Love Got to Do with It". Rupert Hine produced "Better Be Good to Me", which had been written by Holly Knight, Mike Chapman, and Nicky Chinn, and most of the other songs.〔 John Carter produced "Private Dancer", which was written by Mark Knopfler and has a guitar solo by Jeff Beck. "Ball of Confusion", a cover of The Temptations song which was Turner's first collaboration with the B.E.F. (British Electric Foundation)/Heaven 17 production team and part of their collaborative 1982 album ''Music of Quality and Distinction Volume One'' was not included on the ''Private Dancer'' album. A recording of Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" from the same sessions would re-appear in remixed form on B.E.F.'s ''Music of Quality and Distinction Volume Two'' in 1991. "Help!" was recorded with The Crusaders.
