8 of Tina Turner's Most Legendary Songs

Tina's 1989 song "The Best," off her album "Foreign Affair," is technically a cover, but it became one of her most defining hits. The original version by Bonnie Tyler was released a year earlier. Turner's version adds a bridge and a key change. The song experienced a small renaissance when Noah Reid's Patrick performed it in season four of "Schitt's Creek."

Tina's 1984 song "What's Love Got To Do With It" was a single off her fifth studio album, "Private Dancer." The song went to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, her only solo No. 1 ever, as per Billboard. The song's title was also used for the 1993 biopic about her life.

The title track from "Private Dancer" was never actually released as a single, though it's one of Tina's most sensual. The song was originally written by Mark Knopfler of the British rock band Dire Straits, who thought it would be better served by a female vocalist, as per his website.

"Nutbush City Limits" was originally released by Ike and Tina in 1973; it was one of the last songs they released together. The song peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard R&B singles chart and No. 22 on the Billboard Hot 100. After she split from Ike, Tina performed the song in her live shows with a more rock and roll influence, and she recorded it solo multiple times.

"I Don't Wanna Fight" was recorded for the soundtrack of "What's Love Got to Do With It." It was nominated for two Grammys and became a hit in the US, the UK, and Canada.

Tina's 1985 single "We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)" was tied to the 1985 film "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome," which she starred in alongside Mel Gibson. The song became a huge hit, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, and it was nominated for the Golden Globe for best original song.
