What's Love Got to Do with It is the eighth solo album by Tina Turner, released on Parlophone in 1993. It is the soundtrack album for the Tina Turner biographical film What's Love Got to Do with It, released by Touchstone Pictures the same year.

Overview

Turner re-recorded many of her songs from the Ike and Tina Turner period for this album including their first hit single "A Fool In Love". Three brand new tracks are also included, "I Don't Wanna Fight" being a top 10 hit in both the U.S. and UK. The album also includes Turner's version of The Trammps' disco classic "Disco Inferno", a song she had often performed live in concert in the late seventies but never previously recorded in studio. Two tracks from her 1984 breakthrough solo album Private Dancer are also included, the title track to the movie and "I Might Have Been Queen". The album hit #1 on the UK Top 75 and was certified platinum in many countries including the U.S., UK, and Germany.

The U.S. version of the album omits two tracks; "Shake a Tail Feather" and "Tina's Wish".
