If it sounds quite different from most of the lady&#8217;s other tunes . . . well, it should. It was written by Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits, and was originally recorded by Dire Straits during the sessions for their 1982 album &#8220;Love Over Gold&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>After recording the instrumentals for the song (some accounts say Knopfler recorded the vocals as well), Knopfler thought the song was really one a woman should sing. So the tune was dropped from &#8220;Love Over Gold&#8221;; Knopfler later offered the tune to Tina Turner.<\/p>\n<p>When I say &#8220;offered the tune&#8221;, I mean exactly that. Knopfler originally wanted to give Turner the <em>complete recorded\u00a0instrumental tracks\u00a0<\/em> from the Dire Straits recording sessions and let her provide a vocal track to complete the song. Unfortunately, his record company apparently balked at that. So members of the band (less Knopfler, presumably for the same reason) performed as Turner&#8217;s session musicians when she recorded it in 1984. Jeff Beck sat in for Knopfler on lead guitar, and IMO did a fine job.<\/p>\n<p>To my knowledge, the original Dire Straits version was never released (as noted above, accounts vary regarding whether Knopfler ever recorded a vocal track for the song). That&#8217;s a pity &#8211; I&#8217;d love to hear Knopfler&#8217;s guitar work and his take on the vocals for the tune.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nothing again from DPAA again this week &#8211; I guess the &#8220;holiday break&#8221; affected their workflow &hellip; <a title=\"Seven From Tina\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=76918\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Seven From Tina<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":623,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26,170],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-76918","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blather","category-who-knows"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76918","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/623"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=76918"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76918\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=76918"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=76918"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=76918"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
