I'll Be Your Shelter - Taylor Dayne (1990)

Welcome the original Fergie.

"I'll Be Your Shelter" is a song performed by Leslie Wunderman - AKA Taylor Dayne; released as the third single from her second album, Can't Fight Fate. The song was a departure from her dance roots, displaying more of a mid-tempo pop/rock quality, yet maintaining the intense vocals for which she had become known.
Written by Diane Warren, she originally penned the song for Tina Turner, but when Turner passed on it, the song was offered to Dayne instead. One can easily notice how Tina would've been perfect fit for such a song.

Your summary pretty much says it all. Definitely a Tina Turner song. Great voice also...
