With all this talk in the media lately about age, it's worth noting that 40 years ago this month, What's Love Got to Do With it was climbing the Billboard Charts, before reaching number one for four weeks in September.
Tina seemed to defy the odds. Many had written her off as being too old for mainstream success 44 at the time but she came back stronger than she had ever been with Ike.
And she worked her ass off. Most major performers today don't even have a schedule as grueling as what she was doing in 84 see link. Anyone old enough to remember the buzz she caused? Was it surprising or was it inevitable that she would hit it big again Lets Stay Together was a moderate top 40 hit in the US. I started being a huge fan in late 85 after the comeback hoopla died down somewhat, but I was there for Break Every Rule, which had some hits, even though it wasn't as big as the juggernaut Private Dancer was.
