Tina Turner (born November 26, 1939), née Anna Mae Bullock, is a singer, dancer, actress, and author, whose career has spanned more than half a century, earning her widespread recognition and numerous awards. Born and raised in the Southeastern United States, she is now a Swiss citizen.
She began her musical career in the mid-1950s as a featured singer with Ike Turner's Kings of Rhythm, first recording in 1958 under the name "Little Ann". Her introduction to the public as Tina Turner began in 1960 as a member of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. Success followed with a string of notable hits credited to the duo, including "A Fool in Love", "River Deep – Mountain High" (1966), "Proud Mary" (1971) and "Nutbush City Limits" (1973), a song which she herself wrote. In her autobiography, I, Tina, she revealed several instances of severe domestic abuse against her by Ike Turner prior to their 1976 split and subsequent 1978 divorce. Raised as a Baptist, she melded her faith with Buddhism in 1971, crediting the religion and its spiritual chant of Nam Myoho Renge Kyo for helping her to endure during difficult times.
"Steamy Windows" is a song by Tina Turner. It was included on Turner's 1989 Foreign Affair album and released as the album's second single in November 1989, and third single in the United Kingdom and Ireland in February 1990. Written by Tony Joe White and produced by Dan Hartman, is known for its high energy and strong vocal performance. Released as the album's third single, it became a top ten hit in Belgium and Ireland, while reaching the top forty on the majority of all charts it appeared on.
The single included a dance version of the track co-produced and remixed by Justin Strauss and Murray Elias and it was also issued as a separate remix single in certain territories. It was covered two years later by country artist John Anderson for his album Seminole Wind as well as country artist Kenny Chesney. Turner performed the song as the opening number during her 1990, 1993 and 2008/2009 concert tours.
The official music video for the song was directed by Andy Morahan.

Opening song at the MEN Arena. Had to cut my video slightly short because a plain clothes video camera detective took someone with a camcorder out of the audience right in front of me. You can see him on the video. Down with that sort of thing! I felt sorry for the person who was filming she didn't come back for 3 songs!

Lyrics Directory Tina Turner lyrics Tina Turner EASY AS LIFE lyrics
Featuring Angelique Kidjo
(E. John, T. Rice)
Producer: Jean Hebrail
Album: Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida (99)
This is the moment when the gods expect me
To beg for help but I won't even try
I want nothing in this world but myself to protect me
But I won't lie down, roll over and die
All I have to do is to forget how much I love him
All I have to do is put my longing to one side
Tell myself that love's an ever-changing situation
Passion would have cooled and all the magic would have died
It's easy, it's easy
Until I think about him as he was when I last saw him
And how he would have been were I to be with him today
Tender in his manner and myself consolation
All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away
It's easy, it's easy as life
All I have to do is to pretend I never knew him
On those very rare occasions when he steals into my heart
Better to have lost him when the ties were barely binding
Better the content of the familiar kind of start
It's easy, it's easy
And though I'll think about him until the earth draws in around me
And though I choose to leave him for another kind of love
This is no denial, no betrayal, but redemption
Redeemed in my allies and in the pantheon above
It's easy, it's easy, it's easy
