    The Ike and Tina Turner Revue are one of those classic bands that just "work". Even despite all the personal shit that went off in the background they are still perfect.

    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.

    Ike--you shoulda NEVER beat on this woman, she WAS your career. Tina--the best revenge is success, isn't it?

    I'd go nuts if my spouse became a Hare Krishna too, though I wouldn't get physical. I'd just stick with mental cruelty instead.
