Wikipedia article
"'Be Tender with Me Baby'" is a song by recording artist Tina Turner. Written by Albert Hammond and Holly Knight and produced by Dan Hartman, it was released as a single from Turner's seventh solo studio album, 'Foreign Affair' (1989), in October 1990. Released as a single in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and continental Europe only, it reached number four in Portugal, number 18 in Ireland, number 28 in the UK, and number 35 in the Netherlands. The accompanying music video depicts Turner performing the track at a 1990 concert at Woburn Abbey during her Foreign Affair Tour as an encore, and the seven-minute live version was also included on the single.
Critical reception
Pop Rescue stated that "Be Tender with Me Baby" "gives Tina a bit of a rock ballad to play with", adding that she "gets plenty of time and space to show off her vocals, which she really does from a softer vocal near the start, to winning the battle with the soaring strings and electric guitar." They also noted the "heartfelt ending" of the song.
