It was released on May 29, 1984, through Capitol Records and was her first album released through the label. After several challenging years of going solo after divorcing Ike Turner, Private Dancer propelled Turner into becoming a viable solo star, as well as one of the most marketable crossover singers in the recording industry. It became a worldwide commercial success, earning multi-platinum certifications, and remains her best-selling album in North America to date. Written by a successful crime writer, Leather has obviously experienced the seedier side of Thailand for himself or at least, has a very good source.

The novel is divided into small segments – each narrated by its respective character along the way. And it is absolutely intriguing to see how each person feels and thinks about the exact same situation as the story unfolds. The book offers a very dark and grim vision about Thailand but I guess that’s expected. The story should have drama and something interesting to talk about otherwise, it might get boring, I accept that. Christgau, Robert (July 24, 1984). "Christgau's Consumer Guide". The Village Voice .

From The Desk of Loy Machedo: Why Private Dancer Is a MUST READ BOOK For Any First Time Tourists Who Plan To Visit Thailand!

I’d heard some sob stories from farangs I‘d met and Leather’s take on what can and still does happen in ‘The Land of Smiles,’ rings very true; perhaps it even serves to educate those horny guys that come to Thailand and leave there brain at the airport!

Private Dancer by Stephen Leather is a book that was tremendously well-received in Thailand. Bernard Trink from Bangkok Post – the biggest English-language daily in Thailand – believes that “ Private Dancer ought to be made available to every tourist at port of entry” and Pattaya Mail wrote that the book “should be compulsory reading for all first-timers to Thailand.” Even though the book is written keeping in mind only those 4 or 5 characters – the book as a whole acts as a manuscript in understanding how different people from different cultures and different environments think and communicate ideas, feelings and thoughts.

The book is interesting because it also presents the story from the Thai point of view, and the Thai bar girls point of view. Which gives a tremendous hindsight and is very interesting. What made me raise an eyebrow: Pete moves to Thailand from London for work. He gets involved with a bar girl and prostitute Joy and is naive enough to think it’s love. He does everything for her and she in turn is using him, as bar girls do, to get money out of him. She also has a Thai boyfriend who Pete doesn’t know about. This book provides a lot of insight into these white men/bar girl relationships. In a way, it’s the kind of book a man should read before coming to Thailand and getting involved with these bar girls.

Thailand’s sex tourism industry is a very small part of the entire culture – however, it is a very powerful and prominent part of the system. That is why understanding this tiny component is very essential for anyone. A love story between an emotionally weak and unstable British journalist – Pete and money focused self-righteous and super-manipulative man-eater - Joy a Pole Dancer.Aga oi kui huvitav on see tai hoorade maailm, nende naiste elu on meeste poolt nii ette ära määratud, et sa mingi hetk ei teagi enam, kas tunda kaasa või võtta seda kõike ilma suurema kärata. Lapsena hakkab neid isa ja vennad vägistama, nii valmistavad nad tüdrukud ette hooramiseks, 16a on nad nii harjunud,et keegi nende seljas nühib ja kui veel selle eest makstakse, siis pole ju probleemi (palgad väiksed ja hoorad teenivad rohkem kui teised). A book about horrible people, all of whom deserve each other. The sex tourists are ostensibly the protagonists and written sympathetically, so you forget that what they're doing is sleazy and exploitative. Joy is also a protagonist, but entirely soulless, though there are valid and Freudian excuses prevented for that soullessness, and though your delicate Western sensibilities may initially be mortified by her flagrant money-grubbing manipulation, you warm to her as the book goes on. Anyway, I started this book when we went on a vacation to Pattaya, Thailand for the new year. What a great insight it was into the world of this so-called couples I saw around. The entire tourist area in Pattaya is filled with bars and sleaze that is usually associated with it. There are similar areas in Bangkok that are famous, viz. Nana Plaza, Patpong and a couple of others. Private Dancer is set in and around these areas. Top 100 Albums (January 5–December 28, 1985)" (PDF). Music Week. January 18, 1986. p.11.
