Absolutely 80’s Friday Forgotten 45: Tina Turner

Nina Blackwood is your host for Absolutely 80’s every Saturday night from 9 to midnight on 105.7 KOKZ. One of the great songs you’ll hear tomorrow night is today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 from Tina Turner with “Typical Male”.

The song appears on Tina’s 1986 album “Break Every Rule” which was the follow-up to her multi-platinum 80’s comeback LP “Private Dancer”. “Typical Male” almost became Tina’s second #1 hit (“What Love Got to Do With It”) but it stalled at #2 on the charts, blocked from the top spot by Cyndi Lauper’s “True Colors” for three consecutive weeks.

I found a live video from 1993 of Tina with all of her dance moves performing “Typical Male” today’s Forgotten 45.
