It is from the Sonny & Cher Show aired 11 March 1977.
This is Tina's 3rd appearance on the show but the 1st after the divorce from Ike.

Watch closely now
You'll observe a curious exchange of energy
Are you a figment of my imagination
Or am I one of yours?
Watch closely now
Are you watching me now?
Your eyes are like fingers
They're touching my body
And arousing my soul
Riding the passion arising inside me
How high can I go?
You're comin' with me girl, I'm gonna show you how
When it's scarey, don't look down

Watch closely now
Are you watching me now?
I see the hunger arise in your eyes
And it's urging me on
Higher and harder and faster and farther
Than I've ever gone
You're coming closer lady; don'tcha leave me now
We're gonna make it, don't look down

Maybe I'm takin' me too many chances
With no net at all
Maybe I'll teach you at least that you've
got to be free when you fall

Watch closely now
Are you watching me now?
I'm the master magician
Who's setting you free
From the lies you've been told
When you're breaking your back
Bring your last straw to me
I turn straw into gold
I'm gonna need you later, when you're not around
But I can take it, don't look down

Watch closely now...
Are you watching me now?

I love Tina, but "Watch Closely Now" belongs to Barbra1

[watchamatt]

@billyboylb I don't know Barbra's version but it's true that it's not the best idea for Turner to sing Streisand !

[martinamy82]

Not fond of the song, but I love her voice here!

[watchamatt]

@martinamy82 lol me too Martina, we were watching it last night with Sjef and had a good laugh actually but the quality is good so what can we say !-) Hope you're fine !

@eliud82

I've changed the title. I checked on imdb for the date and didn't noticed it was " S & C " .

[FatBabyCheeks]

Tina does great!

[Ranlon]

Love the song, but it's not for her.

[manley1983]

She looks fantastic and sounds great!!!

[11thDawn]

Tina looks great here

[Nina37Seattle]

Tina can sing anything!

[MrsWLeach]

WOW!!!! I never heard Tina Turner sing this song. NICE!

[Genebara]

@billyboylb I didn't think anyone could pull off singing Barbra's "Watch Closely Now", but Tina nailed it in Tina's style! I was amazed...gave me goosebumps!

[hollywoodboysa]

I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO TINA FOR A LONG TIME AND NEVER HEARD HER USE HER VOICE LIKE THAT EITHER.... TINA AND CHER SHOULD HAVE MADE OUT AND THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE HOTTEST LESBIAN MOMENT OF ALL TIME

[watchamatt]

@CenturianRule It's indeed interesting to see Tina perform this song but saying Barbra is a bitch is a bit extreme no !-) ?

[Chicmadmoiselle]

I like it! But I things that with her great voice she could have done it better!! It seems like she hadn't let her voice came out!!! SHE IS SO POWERFULL, I EXPECTED THAT SHE SHOUTED A LITTLE MORE! I Even Barbra shouts it!!!
