“[The prologue of the original ‘Tonight’] was such an idiosyncratic thing of Jimmy’s that it seemed not part of my vocabulary…There was that consideration, and I was doing it with Tina [Turner] – she’s the other voice on it – and I didn’t want to inflict it on her either. It’s not necessarily something she would particularly agree to sing or be a part of. I guess we changed the whole sentiment around. It still has that same barren feeling though, but it’s out of that specific area that I’m not at home in. I can’t say that it’s Iggy’s world, but it’s far more of Iggy’s observation than mine.”
