"Love Thing" is a song by American recording artist Tina Turner, released in November 1991 by Capitol Records from her 1991 greatest hits album, Simply the Best . It is written by Holly Knight and Albert Hammond, and Turner co-produced it with Chris Lord-Alge and Roger Davies. The single also includes the non-album track "I'm a Lady", written and produced by Terry Britten and Graham Lyle. The accompanying music video was directed by American film director and producer Michael Bay and features American model Tyra Banks. [2]
Larry Flick from Billboard magazine commented, "New song featured on upcoming greatest-hits collection, Simply the Best , is a swaggering rocker, replete with crunchy guitars and a muscular rhythm section. Tune and arrangement are a perfect match for Turner's signature growl." [1] A reviewer from Liverpool Echo wrote, "Tough stuff this time with heavy rock riffs matched with aggressive vocals. Not for the faint-hearted." [3]
