TINA: Song

The Bitch Is Back

is a rock song, co-written and first released by Elton John on his album „Caribou“ in 1974. Tina used it to open her early Wild Lady of Rock concerts and recorded also a studio version in 1978 for her first solo album Rough after the split from Ike Turner. In 1991, she recorded a new version for the Elton John tribute album Two Rooms and performed it live with Elton at the Divas Live charity concert in 1999.
