Tina filed for divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences in 1976 and asked for nothing but her stage name according to her memoir My Love Story. Tina convinced Capitol Records to sign her as a solo artist, and in 1984, she released Private Dancer. The first single from Private Dancer was a remake of Al Green's 1971 classic, "Let's Stay Together," but it was "What's Love Got To Do With It" that dominated MTV, introduced her to a new generation and pushed the album to sell five million copies in the U.S., becoming her highest-selling U.S. album.
Her success launched world tours, movie roles, and her creation of soundtracks like 1985's Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and James Bond's Golden Eye. The music of Tina's 1980's mainstream comeback, as well as her more soulful output with Ike Turner, has become sampler food for producers.
