With Tina Turner’s A Fool in Love, Courtney Hadwin proved she is to be taken seriously. The 1960 classic is one of Turner’s most iconic tracks. Somehow, Hadwin managed to reshape it completely turning her performance into something that felt like a full-blown concert.
It’s interesting to note that with this performance, Hadwin seems not to be aiming for an impersonation of Turner’s style, but rather she wants to bring something unique through with her own voice. The song instead ends up feeling fresh, as though it’s one of Hadwin’s originals!

A Fool in Love, written by Ike Turner, launched Tina Turner’s career in 1960 and immediately became definitive in rock and roll history– it was a straight path from here to Turner’s crowning achievement of becoming the Queen of Rock n’ Roll. Hadwin pays tribute to this legacy and simultaneously proves her capabilities by taking on a song of this stature!
If this seems impressive to you, you’ve only begun to scratch the surface with what Hadwin has to offer. You have to check out her performance of Piece of My Heart, where she channels Janis Joplin, one of her biggest influences.
