“Whats Love Got to Do With It” By Tina Turner is mixed very well. I love the dance between the music and her vocals. What do you like or not like about this song?
“What’s Love Got to Do with It” is the second single released from Tina Turner’s breakthrough solo debut album, Private Dancer. In the UK and Continental Europe it was the third single, following Turner’s cover of The Beatles’ “Help!”. The song is widely credited for the huge success of the Private Dancer album itself. “What’s Love Got to Do With It” is arguably Tina Turner’s most popular and successful single, becoming her first number-one hit in the United States and establishing Tina Turner as a mainstream Pop and Rock artist, while also reaching number one in Australia and number three in the UK. In 1993, the song’s name was used as the title for What’s Love Got to Do With It?, a biographical film about Turner’s life leading up to the actual release of the song. The music video was directed by Mark Robinson. It is ranked #309 on the Rolling Stone magazine’s list of “the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time”. It also ranked #38 on Songs of the Century. It was the 17th best-selling single of 1984 in the UK.

Her vocals are awesome, its like the vocal track just rides slightly above the music gives it a floating feel!
