"Love Thing" is a song by American recording artistTina Turner from her 1991 greatest hits album,Simply the Best. The single was written by Holly Knight and Albert Hammond. The record also includes the non-album track "I'm a Lady", written and produced byTerry Britten andGraham Lyle.
Larry Flick fromBillboard 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 fromLiverpool Echo wrote, "Tough stuff this time with heavy rock riffs matched with aggressive vocals. Not for the faint-hearted."[2]
Amusic video was produced to promote the single, directed by American film director and producerMichael Bay and featuring American modelTyra Banks.[3]
