Album Notes & Community Reviews

Producer Phil Spector took complete control of the title track, pushing his dense 'Wall of Sound' technique to its absolute instrumental limit beneath Tina Turner's thunderous vocals. The remainder of the album balances heavily orchestrated pop-soul with the duo's typically gritty, hard-driving rhythm and blues.
