This scorching live performance was recorded in 1969, just as Ike & Tina Turner's signature tune, "Proud Mary," was riding high on the charts. The duo, along with a tight and fiery backing band and the sultry Ikettes, perform all their hits, as well as some popular covers of the day ("Respect," "Son of a Preacherman"), and create a dazzling conflagration of soul, gospel, and rock.
Tracklist
Ike & Tina Turner
While Ike Turner helped lay the foundations of rock & roll and Tina Turner went on to become one of the most successful female singers in pop history, some would argue that the duo made their best music together. Ike & Tina began working together in the early 1960s when Ike discovered the young singer Anna Mae Bullock and transformed her into the smoldering, seemingly unstoppable musical force known as Tina Turner. Their artistic run--which produced soul/R&B/pop classics such as "It's Gonna Work Out Fine," "River Deep Mountain High," and their near earth-moving version of "Proud Mary"--was eclipsed in intensity only by the tumultuous nature of their marriage. Both facets of their partnership came to an end in the mid 1970s.
