Tina Turner version

Tina Turner's recording of the track features guitar by Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits (who also produced) and was included on her 1986 album Break Every Rule. It was released as a single in Europe and found minor success in the UK. Instead of a remix, the 12" single featured a seven-and-a-half-minute live version from Turner's 1986/1987 Break Every Rule Tour, on which the track was one of the encores. An edited version of this same recording was later included as the closing track on her 1988 album Tina Live in Europe, omitting most of the closing saxophone solo. The full-length live recording remains unreleased on CD, but is available as part of the music video on Turner's All the Best – The Live Collection DVD.

Music video

The official music video for the song, a live performance piece featuring the same recording as the 12" single, was directed by Andy Morahan.[2]
