In 1977, a legendary songwriting duo’s first song together began with a new city and a musician trying to find his place.

Released after “Feels Like the First Time” and “Cold as Ice,” Foreigner’s “Long, Long Way From Home” was one of three hit singles from the band’s self-titled debut album, reaching No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. But it was by far the most personal.

Featuring melodic guitars, a saxophone riff, and powerful lyrics about leaving a small town for the Big Apple, the song delivered a perfect mix of hard rock and catchy hooks that would define the band’s sound. It also marked the first song co-written by legendary songwriting duo Mick Jones and Lou Gramm, with Ian McDonald also credited on the track.

In an interview with Classic Rock Revisited, Gramm confirmed, [‘Long, Long Way from Home’] is the very first song that Mick and I wrote together. They are very autobiographical lyrics.“

“I really left the small town for the ‘Apple in decay,’” the singer explained. “When I first went to New York for my audition, and when I started writing with Mick, there was a garbage strike, and no garbage had been picked up for three weeks. The whole city stunk to high heaven. It was unbelievable. When the strike was over, they ended up having huge barges filled with garbage going down the Hudson.”

Gramm once revealed that the song was written in the span of a couple of hours.

‘[Jones] had a drum machine and a keyboard and a small amplifier,” he recalled in a video interview, adding that his bandmate began to play a few ideas he had.

“[He said], ‘If you hear one that you really like and you want to work on, stop me’,” Gramm shared. “So I heard a little bit of the music for ‘Long, Long Way From Home.’ So we worked on it for another two hours, and before I went home we had that song written.”

Jones noted that the song really "reflected" what was going on with the newly formed band, which also included drummer Dennis Elliott, bassist Ed Gagliardi, and keyboardist Al Greenwood.

“This was the first song I wrote with Lou Gramm,” he said in a video posted on Foreigner’s official YouTube page. “And it really sort of reflected the story of here we are like three foreigners, three Americans and like I'm the only one that lives in New York City.”

“Everybody else had come to New York City to join this band, you know,” he added. “There were a lot of misgivings in those years, and in the late ‘70s New York was quite a jungle... so this little edge in the air about, you know, looking over your shoulder kind of thing as you walk down the street after dark, and just the excitement about being part of this new adventure with the band, and some of us missing home more than others. And it was difficult for the guys that have come down from out of town, you know, because suddenly being living in the country and thrust into the heart of New York and right on Broadway as well, studio-wise. So you couldn't get much more neon than that.”

Gramm and Jones would go on to write a long list of massive hits including “Hot Blooded,” “Head Games,” “Juke Box Hero” and “Waiting for a Girl Like You.”

Gramm told Rock Cellar magazine his writing partnership with Jones worked because they each had a lane.

“I think Mick is one of the best riff rock writers in this business. I would sit listening to cassette tapes of one idea of his after the other,” he shared. “After repeated listening to his ideas, I‘d pick one that had stuck in my mind, and I would start working on a lyric and a melody. …He’d have the riff, and I’d have the basic idea for the melody or maybe a lyric, and together we would work from there.”

More than 40 years after that first songwriting session, “Long, Long Way From Home” remains an enduring classic—the song that opened the door for decades of Foreigner’s rock hits.

Some of rock's most memorable performances feature musicians whose names casual fans may not know, even though their playing helped define an era.

That describes guitarist Tim Renwick, who celebrates his 77th birthday on Aug. 7. Best known for his work with Al Stewart and Sutherland Brothers & Quiver, Renwick also became an essential part of Pink Floyd's live lineup during the band's celebrated return to the stage in the late 1980s and 1990s.

After Roger Waters left Pink Floyd, David Gilmour invited Renwick to join the band for its A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour in 1987. He remained with the group through its blockbuster world tours, appeared on the live album Delicate Sound of Thunder, contributed to The Division Bell and Pulse, and returned once more for Pink Floyd's emotional Live 8 reunion in 2005.

From Elton John to Eric Clapton

Long before joining Pink Floyd, Renwick had already built one of rock's most impressive résumés. During his career, he recorded or toured with artists including Elton John, David Bowie, Eric Clapton, Mike Oldfield, Roger Waters, Rick Wright, Al Stewart and Gary Brooker, becoming one of Britain's most sought-after session guitarists.

One unusual distinction sets Renwick apart from many of his peers. He performed extensively with Waters after Waters left Pink Floyd, then later joined Gilmour's version of Pink Floyd, making him one of the few musicians to work closely with both sides of the legendary split.

Still Playing More Than Six Decades Later

Renwick never slowed down after his years with Pink Floyd. He has released solo albums, continued performing with Stewart, and today still lives in Cornwall, where he plays with local groups including The Bucket Boys.

Speaking with Gray Guitars London, he said he was balancing another tour with Stewart, new solo music and local performances near his Cornwall home. Describing Privateer 2, he called it "fourteen of my favorite little bits that I've done over the last 5 years" and said he was "really pleased with that." Even after decades of touring with some of rock's biggest names, he added simply, "I'm still doing my library stuff and various things ... Keeping me busy."

Although he spent much of his career outside the spotlight, Renwick's guitar work has become woven into some of classic rock's most enduring recordings and live performances, ensuring his influence continues to be heard by generations of fans.

A little magic will be arriving soon in North Carolina when Disney celebrates the opening of its second Storyliving by Disney community, Asteria. Built around “curiosity, connection, and exploration,” Asteria is inspired by the natural beauty of North Carolina. And Disney has now shared a first look at its entryway, pairing Disney storytelling with the stunning Carolina landscape.

“Like the broader community, the entryway at Asteria is designed with creative guidance from Walt Disney Imagineering to reflect the natural beauty and character of North Carolina’s Piedmont region,” Disney shared in a press release. “The land helps set the stage with topography that rises just beyond the entry before gently falling, creating a subtle reveal.”

Disney sourced stone directly from the site to use, including metavolcanic rock, quartz and rhyolite. The entryway will be constructed using the regional tradition of dry stacking and its signature element will be a moon gate, a type of arched gateway that frames the oncoming landscape, creating a magical reveal moment.

​"That same attention to detail will continue throughout Asteria, where landscape, architecture, and community gathering spaces are being designed to encourage exploration and connection with a touch of Disney magic​," Disney shared. "Across the community, residents will find design details and shared spaces that reflect the natural setting and invite everyday moments of discovery.​"

Asteria follows the first Storyliving by Disney community, Cotino in Rancho Mirage, just outside of Palm Springs, California. On track to open Fall 2027, the 1,500-acre Imagineer-designed residential community will feature single-family homes, condos and Peter Pan-themed rental cottages. There will also be sections specifically reserved for adults aged 55 and old.

Connection is at the heart of the community with Never Land-inspired amenities, including the Second Star Club and Aster Green. The sprawling campus also features a two-story restaurant and social hub, Marquet Hall, and The Studios, inspired by local craftsman traditions of quilting and woodworking. There will also be plenty of recreation opportunities for residents, including pickleball courts, pools and a wellness center.

The upcoming community is located in Chatham County, east of Pittsboro, and homes are now on sale.

Fifty-six years ago today, on Aug. 7, 1970, roughly 200,000 people drove into a field in Leoni Township, Michigan, for the three-day Goose Lake International Music Festival, which cost $15. It became known as Michigan's Woodstock. It also never happened again.

The Man Who Built Goose Lake Park

Richard Songer, a metro Detroit construction businessman, bought the land and billed it in a Detroit News ad as the world's first permanent festival site. He gave it a revolving stage so there would be no lull between acts.

The bill backed up the comparison to Woodstock nearly a year earlier. The Faces played with a young Rod Stewart singing and future Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood. Jethro Tull, Chicago, Ten Years After, Mountain and the Flying Burrito Brothers filled out the national acts, along with the James Gang and Joe Walsh. Michigan supplied the rest: the MC5, Mitch Ryder, Brownsville Station and a 25-year-old Bob Seger, who closed it out Sunday.

Iggy Pop and the Stooges took the stage Aug. 8. It was the last show original bassist Dave Alexander ever played with the band. The soundboard tape sat unheard for 50 years, until Third Man Records released it in 2020 as Live at Goose Lake: August 8th, 1970.

Bruce Barton Went Back to Court

Organizers had planned for about 60,000. Fewer than a quarter of the 200,000 who came paid to get in. Jackson County prosecutor Bruce Barton, who had tried to block the festival four days earlier, went back to court afterward. He called the festival a public nuisance and alleged that Songer had condoned the open sale and use of drugs. Gov. William Milliken had condemned the drug use too, and Attorney General Frank Kelley said he thought Michigan had seen "the first and the last rock concert" of that size.

Songer fought the injunction to the Michigan Court of Appeals and lost. It became permanent in 1972, and no rock festival was ever held at the park again.

The land is a campground now, called Greenwood Acres. Its recreation center sits on the foundation of the old revolving stage, and the towers that held the speakers are still up.

Country music star Warren Zeiders has announced that his fifth studio album, No Brakes, will be released on Sept. 25, giving fans a new collection of songs as he continues performing during his 2026 tour schedule.

The upcoming 12-track album follows the release of the title track, along with the previously released songs "Days of My Life" and "Drinking Game." The remaining tracks have yet to be revealed.

Speaking about the project, Zeiders explained the meaning behind the album's title.

“Life is inevitable,” Warren says, according to ABC News Radio. “Good things, bad things, it’s all coming at you – and you have to power on. There’s not really a choice, but why would you want one? That’s why the idea, all gas, no brakes really seemed like the right name for this album.”

View this post on Instagram

According to the announcement, No Brakes was created under an unusual recording process. The album was made “primarily in a two day, twelve hour work session.”

The release continues a busy year for the Pennsylvania native, who also issued his first live album, Live from the 717, earlier in 2026.

No Brakes. The Album. 9.25. 🛞⛽️

♬ original sound - Warren Zeiders Warren Zeiders' 'No Brakes' Album Builds on Recent Success

No Brakes arrives after several years of steady growth for Zeiders in country music.

The singer first gained attention by posting cover songs on TikTok while attending Frostburg State University. His original song "Ride the Lightning" later became one of his breakthrough hits, collecting more than 500 million TikTok views before helping launch his recording career.

Zeiders released his debut album, Acoustic Covers, in 2021, followed by 717 Tapes the Album in 2022. His third studio album, Pretty Little Poison, became a major milestone after its title track reached No. 1 on country radio in early 2024.

He followed that success with Relapse in 2024 and the expanded double album Relapse, Lies, & Betrayal in 2025 before announcing No Brakes in July 2026.

The title track has also earned early praise. In a recent country music review by Music Row, the song was described as:

“Nicely done. He’s headed for a heartache, but is barreling toward it nonetheless in this midtempo excursion. He sings with open-throated authority, and the production has just the right touches of twang.”

With No Brakes set to arrive on Sept. 25, fans can expect the album to continue the momentum built by his recent releases while adding new material to his live performances throughout 2026.

Long before Johnny Cash became one of country music’s most recognizable stars, he was a young man in love.

More than that, he was a young man in love who had a lot to say.

Cash married Vivian Liberto on Aug. 7, 1954, at St. Ann’s Catholic Church in Memphis, Tennessee. The couple had met several years earlier, and during their courtship, they exchanged more than 10,000 pages of love letters.

Those letters offer a glimpse at a side of Cash that could easily get lost behind his larger-than-life music career. Before the black suits, hit records and "Man in Black" persona, he was writing to the woman who would become his first wife and the mother of his four daughters.

Cash and Liberto had four daughters together: Rosanne, Kathleen, Cindy and Tara. Their marriage lasted until 1967, as Cash’s career continued to grow and his struggles with addiction and infidelity put increasing strain on their relationship.

Despite the difficult years that followed, the correspondence from their early relationship remained an important part of Liberto’s story.

In 2007, Liberto published I Walked the Line: My Life with Johnny, an autobiography that drew from the thousands of pages of letters exchanged during their courtship. The book offered her perspective on their relationship and life with Cash before and after he became a household name.

The letters also provide an unusual look at the early relationship behind one of country music’s most famous marriages. Cash would go on to become a major recording artist, while Liberto largely remained outside the spotlight as she raised their daughters.

Their marriage ultimately ended in divorce in 1967, but their early letters survived as a remarkable record of their relationship.

Cash married June Carter the following year, and their partnership would become one of the most celebrated relationships in country music.

Still, long before Cash and Carter became country music’s most famous couple, there was Vivian, and more than 10,000 pages of letters that captured the beginning of Cash’s first great love.

When talking about Stoic philosophers, we’ve covered some big names like Seneca and Marcus Aurelius. There are, of course, many others, with another famed philosopher being Cato the Younger. As the Daily Stoic wrote, he is known as “one of the people who truly lived the Stoic values” every day, and his actions spoke volumes about “what it means to live the philosophical life,” even though he didn’t leave behind any writings. Much of what we know about Cato the Younger comes from what others wrote about him. This is where our quote of the day comes from, and it highlights his thoughts about discretion in what you say and being intentional with your words.

As Britannica reported, Cato the Younger was known as Marcus Porcius Cato Uticensis and was born in 95 BCE and died in 46 BCE. His grandfather was Cato the Censor, better known as Cato the Elder, who was a Roman statesman known for his conservative and anti-Hellenic policies.

On top of being a follower of Stoic philosophy, Cato the Younger was also an influential conservative Roman senator during the late Roman Republic era, who tried to “preserve… against power seekers,” per Britannica. As Classics for All reported, Cato the Younger “was a staunch champion of the traditional prerogatives of the aristocratic elite in the Senate,” and fiercely defended tradition within his government role. This made him admirable to many, but also drew the attention and concern of others, such as Julius Caesar. 

Stoic teachings are all about accepting that you cannot control most things outside of yourself. This includes how others respond to or treat you, what the universe has in store for you and—above all—death. It comes for us all, and the Stoics were very big on understanding this and working to accept it. This definitely comes across in Cato the Younger’s life and his end; he was also staunch in his morals and what he deemed as correct, which is one of the only things we can control in this life. And for today’s quote, Cato the Younger’s words share what he thought about self-restraint in what you say and put out into the world.

Quote of the Day by Cato the Younger

“I will begin to speak when I am not going to say what were better left unsaid.”

This quote comes from The Life of Cato the Younger by Plutarch, from his Parallel Lives series. This particular version was translated by Bernadotte Perrin. According to Britannica, Plutarch was a Greek biographer and author who wrote this series of 48 biographies on famous men in Greek and published in the early 2nd century CE. Unfortunately, not all of these survived the test of time, but according to the University of Chicago, 18 pairs of biographies were saved.

In the fourth section, still near the top of the piece, Plutarch explains that Cato became a priest of Apollo and started to “live yet more simply.” He met Antipater the Tyrian, who was a Stoic philosopher and inspired Cato to devote “himself especially to ethical and political doctrines.” 

Plutarch also wrote that Cato spoke to groups of people with an almost militant fervor; however, he didn’t outwardly speak or “perform his exercises” in front of others often. So much so that he writes a friend of Cato’s told him that "Men find fault with thee, Cato, for thy silence.” And this is where our quote of the day comes in; Cato replied:

"Only let them not blame my life. I will begin to speak when I am not going to say what were better left unsaid.”

Deeper Meaning of Cato the Younger’s Quote—Use Discretion and Self-Restraint

Unless we have fantastic self-control, emotional regulation skills and have matured with excellent emotional intelligence, it can be really hard to stop ourselves from blurting words out when we’re upset, frustrated or overly excited. A bit more than just putting our foot in our mouths, there are times when we are either in an argument with someone or are trying to plead our case for something we’re passionate about, and we might say something in the heat of the moment. And this is what Cato the Younger is talking about. 

When he was told by a companion that other men “find fault” in how little he says out loud—at least regarding their perception of how much one should speak—his response was to share that he’s very selective and thoughtful about what he does say. And this is because some things are just better left unsaid. 

He’s saying that he’s intentional about what he does say out loud because there are just some sentiments that are better off left in your head—or written in a private journal, in a letter to burn, etc. You don’t need to spew out every thought that comes to mind, especially when it comes to something significant or in a conversation with someone important to you. 

We’ve all been there: we’re in a heated fight or argument with our partner. We’re experiencing very tense and passionate emotions, and so many negative thoughts are racing through our minds. Do you say everything you’re thinking? Of course not. I’d venture a guess that a majority of those thoughts aren’t how you actually feel about that person. But heightened emotions can really get the best of you, and if you speak before you think, you might say something hurtful or foolish. That’s why it’s very common to advise people to “count to 10” or take a breather and walk away from conflict to come back with a clearer head to filter out negative sentiments. 

And while Cato might not have been referring to just disagreements, he’s advocating for intentionality in all of your outward spoken moments. While easier said than done, he poses a valid concept. The more we stop and think about what we want to say, the more we will properly express ourselves without offending or upsetting others. There really are lots of things that we don’t believe in our hearts—but our brain might conjure up—that are better left unsaid.

• “Bear in mind, that if through toil you accomplish a good deed, that toil will quickly pass from you, the good deed will not leave you so long as you live; but if through pleasure you do anything dishonourable, the pleasure will quickly pass away, that dishonourable act will remain with you for ever.”
• “Nay, men, if any of you had heeded what I was ever foretelling and advising, ye would now neither be fearing a single man nor putting your hopes in a single man.”
• “In doing nothing men learn to do evil.”
• “Consider it the greatest of all virtues to restrain the tongue.”

This three-piece curtain set captures that cozy farmhouse aesthetic. The tailored valance features a parade of beautifully illustrated hens and roosters in warm shades of chestnut, cream, and golden brown, each rendered with lifelike feather detailing that feels inspired by vintage botanical and farm illustrations. 

Coordinating navy gingham tier curtains ground the whimsical print with a classic check pattern, while slim navy twill tape trim creates a polished border that ties the entire look together. The combination strikes a balance between rustic and refined, making it equally at home in a cottage kitchen or traditional country home.

The set includes everything needed to dress one window: Two matching tier panels, each measuring 30 inches wide by 36 inches long, and a coordinating 60-by-14-inch valance. Hung side by side, the tiers provide a combined width of 60 inches, covering the lower portion of the window while allowing plenty of natural light to stream in. The rod pocket construction makes installation quick and effortless, and because each piece is lightweight, they'll drape softly with gentle gathers that enhance the set's relaxed, casual appearance.

The stand initially cost $247, but has been reduced to $158 during a limited-time rollback deal. The piece is additionally marked as Walmart's overall pick and is already in over 50 customer carts, so the popular style is going fast. You can get your hands on two colors: light honey and charcoal. We particularly like the black hue for mid-century and modern style homes that still want a touch of playfulness, while the tan serves the classic cottagecore look.

The television stand is 57.01 inches long, 18.03 inches wide, and 31.02 inches tall, so make sure to measure your space with these specifications to ensure that it fits. The piece can support up to 65-inch televisions and up to 70 pounds. The design features tapered legs, and open storage in the center with two adjustable shelves that you can display items on, like picture frames, books, and more. 

The closed compartments offer hidden storage with adjustable shelves as well, and rattan doors that will add texture to your space. The wooden piece is made of wood composite and solid wood accents, so you can just wipe it with a damp cloth to keep it clean. You will have to assemble the stand upon arrival, but shoppers said that it's "easy to put together."

Other customers said that the furniture is "beautiful," "sturdy," "amazing quality," "well-made," "impressive," "well-packaged," and a "great value." Shoppers really like that the stand "looks very expensive but is very affordable." It's also a great option for small spaces where bigger television stands can't be accommodated.

If you're decorating your space and don't know where to start, then you can count on Martha Stewart. The television personality is known to offer budget-friendly home options, from the kitchen to the living room, with one of our favorite collections of hers being sold Walmart. The latest piece we're loving is the Martha Stewart Safavieh Geometric Area Rug, which is up to 40% off right now.

The piece originally cost $64, but has been reduced to just $42. The rectangle rug is being sold in six sizes, with the smallest being 3-feet by 5-feet, and the largest at 9-feet by 12-feet. The maximum price is $203, and only two of the available sizes are currently on sale (the smallest size mentioned and the 4-foot by 6-foot option, which is $59).

The rug features a geometric design with primarily gray and white colorways, which is ideal for modern-style homes. The item was power-loomed in Turkey and is made of 100% cotton. Due to the material, it's recommended that you vacuum it regularly and spot clean it for best results. If there's truly a tough stain, then acquiring a professional rug cleaner is advised. You may want to rotate the rug every three months so as to create even wear. 

The piece has a 0.25-inch pile height, so you can place it in high foot traffic areas and underneath furniture easily. Like most indoor rugs, don't place the style in direct sunlight to prevent the color from fading. If you are putting it in a busy space, then you can also invest in a rug pad from Walmart to prevent it from slipping. 

One shopper placed this style in their bedroom, adding that the "look and feel of this rug" is "perfect." The beauty of this design is that it's minimalist enough that you can place it nearly anywhere, but exciting enough that it still elevates any room.

Green Day has opened its tape vault.

The band launched Green Day TV on Thursday, a nonstop stream on YouTube that promises "over 100 hours of footage you can't find anywhere else."

🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬

It Opened With a 1994 Club Show

One of the first things the channel aired was video shot on a single camera at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C., in 1994. That was the night Billie Joe Armstrong introduced the crowd to "She," off Dookie. By the setlist database Rolling Stone checked, it was only the third time the band had played the song live. Green Day has played it more than 920 times.

The Archive Goes Back Almost Three Decades

The stream runs music videos and live performances next to footage shot in recording studios, at video shoots, on tour and backstage. Green Day announced it with a promo in the style of Wayne's World, and the channel's own copy promises "unearthed VHS tapes, deep cuts, and probably some stuff that should've stayed in the archives."

https://www.youtube.com/live/Xu90G4oFq2o?si=94cRDS_JZZ2vKRRs

It also carries trivia, giveaways and surprise merch drops. The band has more than 30 years to pull from.

Tré Cool Gets a Weekly Variety Show

The channel's original series is Transmission Unknown, a weekly variety show that drummer Tré Cool hosts. Handpicked emerging acts play live and sit for interviews, and original comedy sketches run between them. The band's own description for it reads as a rogue public-access broadcast.

Green Day TV is not the only place Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Cool reach fans directly. They also run Green Day's Idiot Nation, a curated punk channel on SiriusXM built around their favorite records and rare Green Day recordings.

The band opened the Super Bowl in February. Last September it wrapped the biggest tour of its career, 106 shows across 33 countries. Even the back catalog is still moving: "Wake Me Up When September Ends" crossed a billion Spotify streams more than 20 years after it came out.

The band's film Nimrods, written and directed by Lee Kirk, reaches theaters Aug. 14.

Luke Combs’ cover of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” has crossed one billion streams on Spotify. It is now the 18th country song in history to join Spotify’s billions club. 

The track is Combs’ third song to pass the one-billion mark. The cover appears on his 2023 album Gettin’ Old. The Recording Industry Association of America certified it 8x platinum last October after eight million units sold, per Whiskey Riff. 

Since its March 2023 release, the song has averaged 581,115 streams each day. It ranks as Combs’ second-highest streamed song by daily numbers, behind only “When It Rains It Pours.”

Combs is the second country artist with three one-billion-stream songs. Morgan Wallen leads with four after “Wasted On You” reached the mark in June. Combs joins Wallen, Zach Bryan and Taylor Swift as the only country artists with two or more tracks in the billions club. The full list of country songs with one billion Spotify streams is:

4. “Beautiful Crazy” – Luke Combs

18. “Fast Car” – Luke Combs

Combs’ next likely billion-stream song is “Hurricane” from his debut album This One’s for You. It currently sits at 954 million streams.

Combs’ version of “Fast Car” reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. That peak sits higher than Chapman’s original 1988 recording. The cover also hit No. 1 on the U.S. Country Airplay chart, the Hot Country Songs chart, and the Canada Country chart. It won Single of the Year at the 2023 Country Music Association Awards. 

At the 2024 Grammy Awards, Combs performed the song as a duet with Tracy Chapman. The North Carolina native released Gettin’ Old on March 24, 2023. “Fast Car” quickly became the most-streamed song from the album on Spotify.

Combs was born March 2, 1990, in Huntersville, North Carolina. He grew up in Asheville and later moved to Nashville. His 2017 debut album This One’s for You produced several No. 1 country hits, including “Hurricane,” “When It Rains It Pours,” and “Beautiful Crazy.” 

He recently made country music history as the first solo country artist to headline the 90,000-capacity Wembley Stadium in London. Guinness World Records confirmed the record after three shows on July 31 and Aug. 1-2. 

The dates closed his 23-date My Kinda Saturday Night Tour, which began in March in Paradise, Nevada. During the final weeks of the tour, Combs also headlined two nights at Ireland’s Slane Castle and two nights at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh, Scotland.

More than four decades after its release, Tina Turner, the legendary "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll," continues to cement her legacy in music as her timeless 1984 hit "What's Love Got to Do With It" earns yet another major honor.

The late musician's signature song was recognized as one of the Greatest Love Songs of All Time, proving its enduring influence across generations.

In a ranking released by Billboard, the publication named the top 50 popular tracks that convey deep affection, heartbreak and devotion.

With Diana Ross and Lionel Richie's "Endless Love" securing the No. 1 spot, Tina Turner's "What's Love Got to Do With It" landed at No. 33.

Serving as the lead single from her comeback album, Private Dancer, the song propelled Turner back into the spotlight, earning her chart-topping success, multiple awards and widespread acclaim, making it easy to see why it remains her signature anthem.

Written by the British songwriting duo Terry Britten and Graham Lyle, the song was first offered to Cliff Richard, but he turned it down.

"What's Love Got to Do With It" was also proposed to Donna Summer, British pop group Bucks Fizz and Phyllis Hyman. However, they all rejected it before it landed with Turner.

Before agreeing to record the song, Turner wanted a rock-oriented comeback.

As for Britten, he focused on making the guitar parts heavier and edgier to persuade Turner to record the song, but it ultimately evolved into a synth-driven pop hit that became the biggest commercial hit of her solo career.

Despite being named one of the Greatest Love Songs of All Time, the track presents an unconventional take on love.

With the line "It’s physical. Only logical. You must try to ignore that it means more than that. What’s love got to do, got to do with it? What’s love but a secondhand emotion?" the lyrics emphasize physical attraction based on sexual desire and chemistry.

It became her highest-charting and only No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, where it remained at the top for three weeks.

The 1984 hit also took home major honors, including Song of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 27th Grammy Awards. It was later inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2012.
