Tina Turner - Are You Breaking My Heart - Single

Are You Breaking My Heart is a very rare single with two non album tracks, until now only available on this single. Tina promoted it at the Australian TV-Show Countdown on November 23, 1980. The b-side song „Hold On To What You Got“ was written by Tina’s former bandleader Lenny Macaluso together with Tina and was also released in remixed versions digitally.

The single was only available in Australia and New Zealand to promote Tina’s Australian Tour, starting on November 17 in Hobart. Rumors say, that Tina appeared on stage at an Elton John gig and Bette Midler performed with her together the song „Hollywood Nights“ at one of her shows, after Tina attended her birthday party the day before.
