Forty years ago, Tina Turner released "Typical Male," the opening track from her album "Break Every Rule," co-written with Phil Collins. The song marked a striking pairing between two seemingly mismatched artists and came at a pivotal point in Turner's career, as she worked to prove that her remarkable comeback was no fluke after years of personal and professional turmoil.

Turner's career had collapsed following her abusive marriage to Ike Turner, which ended in 1976, leaving her without a record deal and struggling commercially. Her 1984 album "Private Dancer" reversed this decline and became one of the most celebrated comeback records in music history, spawning hits such as "What's Love Got to Do with It." "Break Every Rule" followed as a successful second act, with "Typical Male" pairing Turner's vocals with Collins's arranging skills, honed during his years with Genesis, to produce a glossy pop track about the disappointments of dating in middle age.
