Tina's best and there's not doubt about it.

"Foreign affair" is one of those albums that you just must have.

Tina Turner is a legend in music and everybody thinks that her 1984 hit album "Private dancer" it's her best because of the several Top 10 hits, the bunch of Grammy awards that it won and the almost 20 million copies it sold but "Foreing affair is more than that.

Not Bad

Accused of selling out, it;s nice to see that Tina hasn't completely abandoned her R&B roots (whether she resents them or not). This is an upbeat album for the most part, aside from a few slushy moments remeniscent of her past, that seem to be reflective of Ike.
