said 'I want to get out of here and play rock venues'." Turner asked Lee Kramer to be her manager and Roger Davies reluctantly went along with the plan. By 1981, Roger Davies was Turner's manager. Davies used his industry contacts to put together a comeback, advised Turner to drop the cabaret ensemble, and they remodeled the show into a grittier rock'n'roll showcase. Turner's return to popularity began in the United Kingdom with a cover version of "The Temptations'"Ball of Confusion" (1982), and was followed by a cover of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" (1983), which was a hit in Europe. Her major breakthrough came with "What's Love Got to Do with It" (June 1984), a track written by Terry Britten (ex-The Twilights) and Graham Lyle. Turner disliked the song and originally turned it down, but despite her reservations, it provided her with her first Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit in September 1984. Davies then booked Turner at The Ritz in New York City for a series of three gigs on January 27, 28, and 29th in 1983. One night saw the attendance of David Bowie and Capitol Records, and was reviewed as "a hip-shaking, knee-swinging rendition of a rock song, she pauses for a deep, sweeping, bow, delivered with a diva's hauteur". The single, "Private Dancer" penned by Mark Knopfler, was released May 29, 1984 and become an international hit. The related album Private Dancer earned Turner three Grammy Awards in 1985, re-establishing her as one of the world's top rock performers. At the age of 45, Turner undertook the role of "Aunty Entity" alongside Mel Gibson in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, filmed in the Australian summer in 1984-1985. In 1993, What's Love Got to Do with It, a biopic about Turner by Kurt Loder, was filmed with Angela Bassett in the lead role and Australian singer-actor James Reyne (former lead singer of Australian Crawl) portraying Davies – however, it was Kramer who should have been depicted at that point of her career. Davies was satirically portrayed by Alec Baldwin in a sketch on Saturday Night Live when Turner guested on the program on February 22,1997. After a successful solo career, on October 1, 2008, Turner returned to the world stage at the age of 69 to celebrate her 50th anniversary in music with 90 live dates. The tour was captured by director David Mallet at the GelreDome in
