Ike Turner RIP pt2

Ike Turner
November 5, 1931 - December 12, 2007

Ike & Tina Turner: I Idolize You and It's Gonna Work Out Fine
From: The Sue Records Story [Capitol, 1994]

Ike & Tina Turner: Bold Soul Sister
From: The Hunter [Blue Thumb, 1969]

Following on from yesterday's post, I've pulled out a couple of Ike's earlier recordings on the Sue label including the original I Idolize You which I personally prefer to the later Spector produced version. I also had to put up Bold Soul Sister cos it's just so so damn funky.

Funky16Corners has reupped a couple of his fantastic posts on Ike which I would highly recommend reading, tons of knowledge jewels being dropped.

I always feel a slight moral quandary with these musicians who make fantastic music but appear to have spent much of their private lives being absolute shits. Ike certainly wasn't the first or last of these and I hope you can appreciate the musical gifts he gave to the world.
