Sorry, I see it now.

You were making a weak joke, rather than contributing in a meaningful way to the thread. 

Morning Rev I went to see Tina Turner The Musical in London in 2019 and not only told you the story of her awful marriage to that monster but how she came through that to become a bigger superstar. The show was brilliant and highly recommended if you like musicals.

I thought it was the Heaven 17 boys that revived her career. Where does David Bowie fit in to the story?

I wasn't aware Bonnie Tyler recorded (Simply) The Best first.

I think he had some pretty influential friends. Didn't they do a song together? Bowie did loads of collaborations.

They did but Bowie was the person who helped her first.

That's nothing - What's Love Got To Do With It was first recorded by Bucks Fizz!

And I also believe it was offered to Cliff Richard first but he turned it down. Would love to know what the Bucks Fizz song would have sounded.
