"It's Only Love" is a rock duet recorded by Grammy Award–winning singers Bryan Adams and Tina Turner. It was the sixth and final single from Adams' album Reckless and was included on Tina Turner's live album Tina Live in Europe, as well as being added to both artists' greatest hits compilations: Adams' Anthology and Turner's All the Best. It reached number 15 in January, 1986 on the Billboard Hot 100[1] in the U.S. and number 29 in the UK. The 12" single included the 1985 live version that would later appear on the 1988 album Tina Live in Europe.
Adams told Songfacts that this was his most memorable collaboration of all the ones he's done. He explained: "Working with Tina Turner was amazing. I used to go to see her in the clubs when I was in my late teens/early 20s before she hit the big time. It was incredible to watch her." He added: "It was such a privilege to have sung with her, especially since I was only 24 at the time."[2]
