To be clear he only produced 2 songs on Private Dancer (I Might Have Been Queen and Better Be Good To Me), 2 on Break Every Rule (the title track and I'll Be Thunder) and 1 on Foreign Affair (Falling Like Rain). I don't know who else on here are Tina Turner fans beside myself but here's a tidbit on one of Hine's tracks "I Might Have Been Queen" It was originally nearly 7 minutes. Against Tina's request he chopped the song down to make room for "I Can't Stand the Rain" which was the last track recorded for the album. If you listen to the remix on the soundtrack of "What's Love Got To Do With It" you can hear one of the chopped verses. Sadly the 7 minute version hasn't been released alone with 6 finished songs recorded during that album. Sorry for getting off topic.
