The 1985 GRAMMYS marked a defining moment in Tina Turner's career when she took the stage with her chart-topping hit "What's Love Got To Do With It." Alone on the GRAMMY stage, with a simple staircase rising behind her, Turner let the song do the work. There were no dancers, no distractions, just her voice — rough-edged and unmistakable — delivered with a calm confidence that pulled the audience in.


The performance came during a night when Turner dominated the 1985 GRAMMYS: She won the GRAMMY for Record Of The Year for "What's Love Got To Do With It," plus two additional GRAMMYS, that night.
