** Turner made it no secret that she was never a fan of "What's Love Got To Do With It", even though it was the lead single on her comeback album Private Dancer. She hated the song's message of placing casual sex over romantic attachment, but her manager Roger Davies insisted that the song could make her relevant again after 13 years of obscurity following her divorce from Ike Turner. She trusted his instinct and it paid off in a big way: it was her first #1 single in the US and won three Grammy awards, one of which she gave to Davies to reward his faith.
* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: "Nutbush City Limits" became a staple of Australian culture due to a line dance based on the song that was developed there in the 70's. Most Australians learn "the Nutbush" as children and the dance is performed at wedding receptions and other parties across the country.
* SongAssociation: "The Best" features on three episodes of ''Series/SchittsCreek'', first when Patrick sings an acoustic version to David, then when David lip-syncs the song to Patrick and [[spoiler: finally, when the Jazzagals sing the song during David and Patrick's wedding.]] Fans of the beloved Canadian sitcom will forever associate the song with the show.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Of course, she's well known in America, but she's even bigger in Europe when it comes to chart success all over the continent. This points out as a reason why Tina moved to Switzerland in the 90s. In her interview with Creator/LarryKing, she describes her success as "...as big as {{Music/Madonna}} in Europe! I’m as big, in some places, as Music/{{The Rolling Stones|Band}}."
