"Rough" is Tina Turner's 3rd solo studio album, released in September 1978 on the EMI label in the UK, Ariola Records in West Germany and United Artists in the United States. The album was made up of blues and disco with a rock influence. The opening track, "Fruits of the Night", was co-written by Giorgio Moroder's longtime collaborator Pete Bellotte. Turner also included a cover of Bob Seger's "Fire Down Below", which was later covered again by Bette Midler for the 1979 movie The Rose. The album also includes Turner's first cover version of Elton John's "The Bitch Is Back", which she re-recorded in 1991 for the tribute album Two Rooms: Celebrating the Songs of Elton John & Bernie Taupin.
