What's Love Got to Do with It is the first soundtrack by American singer Tina Turner, released on June 15, 1993, by Parlophone. It served as the soundtrack album for the 1993 Tina Turner biographical film of the same name, which was released by Touchstone Pictures that same year. It mostly consists on re-recorded versions of her greatest hits during her period with the Ike and Tina Revue. In celebration of the 30th anniversary of What's Love Got to Do with It, the album was re-released on April 26, 2024 with remixes, single edits and rarities.
Most of the album is re-recorded songs from the Ike & Tina Turner period including their first successful single, "A Fool in Love". A total of five new tracks were recorded. Three all new tracks were also included—"I Don't Wanna Fight", a top-10 entry in both the US and UK, and her last major American chart success,[6] as well as "Why Must We Wait Until Tonight" and "Stay Awhile". The album also includes a new Turner version of the Trammps' disco classic "Disco Inferno", a song she had often performed live in concert during the late 1970s, but which she had never previously recorded in studio. It also includes a new Turner version of "You Know I Love You" which is not the B.B. King song but a slightly different, more blues rock song Turner wrote herself with her band mates, though she still credited the song to King on the soundtrack. Turner recalls singing the B.B. King ballad in her 1986 memoir, I, Tina. Two tracks from her 1984 breakthrough solo album Private Dancer are included as well—the title track to the film and "I Might Have Been Queen". The album hit number one on the UK Albums Chart and was certified platinum in various countries including the US, the UK, Switzerland and New Zealand.[7][8][9][10][11]
The US version of the album omits two tracks; "Shake a Tail Feather" and "Tina's Wish", the latter being Turner's version of "Make Me Over" from the 1973 album Nutbush City Limits.
