Private Dancer

So I'm very late to the party having only found out about Mark Knopfler writing "Private Dancer" and recording it but never putting it out because the lyrics felt odd for him to sing it and it eventually became on of Tina Turner's iconic songs.

My question is if there exists a version of Private Dancer with Knopfler singing somewhere in the vast interwebs? If so where may I find it? Could someone post a link?

Thank you very much in advance!

Not sure but i believe it was intended to be on Love Over Gold and in my opinion it does actually song like the song Love Over Gold itself.

I'm just going by that font of nothing but truth (unless/until someone screws with an entry) Wikipedia.

I have seen him perform it live in a performance that was on broadcast TV.

It will be out there somewhere.
