Tina Turner's Grammy award-winning album "Private Dancer" is receiving its flowers once again — this time via a jam-packed 40th-anniversary edition containing a "lost" track, set to be released via Rhino Records on March 21.
A song originally recorded for Tina Turner’s hit 1980s album “Private Dancer” and thought to be lost has been rediscovered after four decades.
The new track, “Hot for You Baby,” was “thought to be lost to time” but has now been “unearthed from the vaults” in a “thrilling discovery,” her record company said in a blurb posted on Turner’s official YouTube channel.
The new song will appear in the 40th-anniversary edition release of her fifth studio album 'Private Dancer’, which will be released in March.
A lost song from Tina Turner’s 1984 album Private Dancer has been found. The track, “Hot for You, Baby,” premiered this morning on the BBC’s Radio 2 Breakfast Show, marking its first public play.
The single is being put out as part of a 40th anniversary edition of Turner’s breakthrough album, Private Dancer.
A song written by Australians George Young and Harry Vanda and recorded for Tina Turner’s classic album, Private Dancer, has been found 40 years after it was presumably lost.
A song recorded for Tina Turner's blockbuster album Private Dancer, that was presumed lost, has been rediscovered and received its first play on BBC Radio 2. Hot For You, Baby, was cut at Capitol Studios in Hollywood and originally intended to be an album track.

"A song which essentially expresses one idea — 'hot for you, baby'—was a little monochromatic for her," said Rolling Stone magazine contributing editor Anthony DeCurtis. "The rest of the stuff that's on Private Dancer is much more nuanced."
The uptempo "Private Dancer" outtake will appear on the upcoming 40th anniversary edition of the late rock icon's career-peak album.
Long believed to have been lost, “Hot for You, Baby” was recorded at Hollywood’s Capitol Studios but was bumped from Turner’s fifth album in favour of hits including “What’s Love Got to Do with It” and “Better Be Good to Me”. The album peaked at No 1 in the US and earned Turner four Grammy awards, including Song of the Year.
