The Ike and Tina Turner Revue was one of the highest energy ensembles on the soul circuit in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s.
Their first hit, “A Fool in Love,” was recorded in 1961 when another singer failed to show up for a session. After several early ‘60s hit R&B singles, including “It’s Gonna Work Out Fine” in 1961, they became major stars in England.
A 1971 cover version of John Fogerty’s “Proud Mary” reached No. 4 on the pop chart. Ike and Tina divorced in 1976.

the only time tina came close to the energy of her work with ike, in the 80s, were the amazing extended dance remixes her singles used to get treated to. and hardly any of them have even been released on cd. shame.

@1969SL That's the truth! Tina was/is a bad woman, where are the Tinas? Beyonce running and rolling all over the stage does not count either.

Never mind private lives,the music they made together was powerful,exciting and hot blooded. Just think Ike lifted himself out of backwoods poverty into rock aristocracy and Tina was the first (only) black rock chick ever. They inspired each other. Strange that other black artists never followed in their footsteps. Hundreds of other girls imitated Aretha but hardly ever anybody went soul/rock path like Turners.
