Private Dancer was Turner’s fifth solo album after leaving husband and musical partner Ike Turner in the late ’70s. Her abuse during the marriage led to one of music’s greatest comeback stories, as Turner remade her career and became one of the ’80s’ biggest acts.

After a five-year break from recording an album, Turner scored a U.K. hit in 1983 with a cover of Al Green‘s “Let’s Stay Together.” That led to work on Private Dancer, released in May 1984 and which went to No. 1 worldwide, won several Grammy Awards and turned the singer, now in her mid-’40s, into one of the era’s hugest stars.

The multiplatinum record was followed by sold-out world tours and other hit albums over the next couple of decades. Turner died in 2023 at age 83.

What’s on Tina Turner’s ‘Private Dancer’ Box Set?

The upcoming box set edition of Private Dancer features the 2015 remaster of the original album – which included the hit singles “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” a No. 1 song, “Better Be Good to Me” and the title track, all U.S. Top 10 hits.

There are also discs of B-sides, single edits and extended versions of the singles, and previously unreleased tracks and non-album singles, such as Turner’s cover of the Temptations‘ “Ball of Confusion” that helped launch her comeback.
