Proud Mary

Proud Mary was Ike & Tina Turner’s biggest hit in 1971, which won a Grammy Award and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2003. The song is one of the few Ike & Tina songs which Tina continuously performed live in her solo concerts and has become one of her most recognizable signature song. This re-recorded version with guest vocals by Timmy Cappello was released as a single along with the home video release of the movie What’s Love Got To Do With It. The single was reviewed in Billboard magazine in it’s issue from June 18, 1994. In 2010, after a candidate’s performance on the TV-Show „The X Factor,“ this version reached the charts in Scotland and England. In 2024, a previously unreleased 'Acapella Version' was released as a single to promote the What' Love? (30th Anniversary Edition).

The live music video was recorded at the Blockbuster Pavilion in San Bernardino, California on September 15, 1993, as part of Tina’s What’s Love? Tour, but was never released on home video as a separate clip.
