Ike and Tina Turner biography, Ike and Tina Turner discography
Fronted by
Tina, with one of the rawest, most sensual and impossibly dynamic voices in Black music,
the Ike And Tina Revue was an ensemble that dripped musical discipline while manifesting
nearly unbearable tension, eventually giving way to wave upon wave of catharsis.Ike Turner was born November 5, 1931 in Clarksdale, MS.Throughout the decade, the
guitarist and piano player was a prolific session player contributing to records by blues
legends Elmore James, Howlin' Wolf, and Otis Rush.Anna was just eighteen and still in high
school when she joined the group as a singer.Ike added Tina to their group's horn section and also added some backup singers in
1957.They were married in a quickie Tijuana ceremony, which turned out to be illegal,
since Ike never bothered to divorce his first wife.Billy Rogers and Ike Turner

Later he would be arrested for drugs and battery.Many thought Tina would disappear without Ike's musical muscle.Two years later, Turner is once again ready to prove her stage prowess.Your words and and heart felt thoughts have
helped us during this difficult journey.Grandpa, it's soooo hard to except the fact that your gone.To My Friend, Thank You.Bolic) long time close friends to date.Ike that the majority were totally unaware of.Ike like so many other people
believed him.There were around 25 of us.Las Vegas, stayed at the Hilton, had our own rooms, ate and gambled
and every single dime was on Mr.But Ike was not a selfish man.Ike, you are a class
act.That was my last conversation with Ike which
I will always remember for as long as I live.Since that day, very slowly I have been proven wrong.Since the day I met him (10 years ago) I have asked him about the movie,
about what people think about him and about life.Each answer has been something
I never would have guessed.He was a great teacher to me.Kings, in boundless breath, overlooking magnificent vista's your best
gig yet.Fender teamed up on multiple charity events as well, auctioning
off signed guitars and more.LYONLU under a promotional contract.Later that same evening, mother played Jimmy Smith record, I told her, "I AM going to sing with him!"Ike Turner, was one of the best people that the spirit of GOD did put in my life....In fact, I know now, that I was his counterpart as far as having a brain is concerned and being exceptionally specially musically talented.My friends,
Tonight is the night in which I rejoice.My beautiful daughter Natalie has turned 21 years of age today.She no longer needs to listen to me!!!So I can talk freely about Ike Turner.It started with Jim O'Neil of Living Blues and Rooster Blues fame.Ike was the talisman and the mecca of Jim's idea of the majesty of the blues.San Marcos, California the music was spellbinding.Ike's Theme he called it.He played it with a vehemence of a conjurer looking for a tribe to heal.Ike the man at that time.In my mind's eye was the responsibility to the gift the music god gave us in Ike Turner.He was a living homage to the worship of music.This man was sent by the gods to play music.It was an old Otis Rush song.Ike tells of coming around a dressing room corner and hearing Clapton practicing.Ike plays the guitar solo on that song.Joe Bihari accompanied me with is daughter when I touched the soil of my 50th state, Arkansas.We drove across the bridge from Memphis to finish that silly goal.BB King and Howlin Wolf (Piano man as Mr.Burnett called him on House Rockin Boogie).He could not stop exuding enthusiasm for the genius of what we shared in the experience of working with Ike.Ike in Sun Studios interviewing Sam Phillips.One of the great moments in America cultural history (thanks Alex).Ike's piano teacher, playing the right hand at the Chicago Blue Festival.What the world did not see was a child in the man who walked off stage after that ovation crying.Headwinds were beginning to become tailwinds.Vulnerability is real hard to do.The Blues rode this man's genius.Robert Nighthawk had the "young genius" playing the piano with him when he was 11 years old on the radio ( probably to save money but so be it the boy could play)
I rode his blues genius energy too.Like a bankrupt company that he was, and the nothing in music that I was, we joined to turnaround his career and invigorate my music label.He struggled to transmit his gifts.Dinner at the Belle Haven Club in Greenwich Connecticut.Ike is sitting at the club when a couple comes to this ever so aristocratic venue and shouts out," Are you Ike Turner?We had our first date in Lawrence Kansas at an Ike and Tina concert!"He knows he is the only black man in the area.Bruce Willis and others are abuzz that Ike is in Ketchum.He goes into a frenzy on the piano.Piano blues becomes guitar blues.Ike knows he can do this and does.Ike walks up to me and he takes his hand like a claw.He then utters in sequence with his pounding.He says it in a cadence that is sychronized with the urgent pounding on my left side.Lesbian reporters enraged that anyone would work with Ike Turner.We wander down to the rehearsal.Kevin on bass is the first I see.Ike buries himself for about 8 minutes.He talked about it often.One Saturday we sat on Sunset Blvd together at a cafe and he was treated like royalty.No drug tests were negative since getting out of jail.Corbijn and the dance as Ike saw what was being asked.The photo took place after Ike sensed Corbijn was in a good emotional state.Corbijn was pleased and left soon after and Ike turned to me and described his awareness of the magnetic pull of Corbijn's energy working to that pose as he himself saw the power of it.Ike showed me the tape of Soul to Soul.Ike was kind of proud of how much BLUES he as able to cull from the spirit of Tina.They reached and they had a stupendous power.They went so deep and so far.They prayed he could keep it on the rails and develop the consistency touring to cultivate a fan base such as their own.If the truth be told I do not know myself the answer to that question.Ike left us tonight and I have to try to get to that place.While the population gets smashed and a handful of people reap all of the benefits.Yet I leapt over the walls.Walther Reuther's death and the UAW and anti war tension.Pristine economic models always pretended that everything that happened was disembodied and inevitable.There was no human agency.It is a lie in that specification.Economics and markets and technology and inevitability.Grosse Pointe was the order of the day.No one looked and the message of despair that is Detroit is not acknowledged.But he carried those dimensions within himself.He embodied them as part of his humanity.He did not deny or walk away from who he was or who he had been or was capable of being.That he could do that scared people.They could be involuntarily jumping on couches because of what he could compel them to do but they could not live with his capacity to live with his demonic side.Great artists are great because they are different.Humanity is affirmed by expression of the feelings buried within.Ike was a great blues artist.One cannot separate that from his being.He was a prisoner of his own fears.Fears that were amplified by the chorus of hatred following that awful film "What's Love Got to Do With It"
What a sham to pretend that was a documentary.He was caught in the social matrix of our own fears of him because he represented a part of ourselves we would not touch.He could live with it and we could not.Yet society closed in on him after a film drove him into an untenable place as social pariah.If you were around him up close you saw things.He took the corrupt studio system on with Bolic Studios and all of the black musicians came there along with Mick Jagger.Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and the young Prince Rodgers Nelson ( The Artist subsequently Known as Prince) all were on the premises until the studio was burned down.We did not like and could not make peace with what we were attracted to.He did not do this for sport.He saw and knew things about us that we could not see in ourselve and he brought them out of us, however painfully.Ike asked me if I was a masochist.Not literally but in every ounce of what he challenged me with.Ike Turner, to spend time with him.Rocket 88, his "first rock and roll song" contender.One of my favorite Ike moments took place during SXSW in 2001.Ike held forth over this small group at a long table as top notch soul food came out from the kitchen and classic soul music came out of the speakers.Something particularly funky was on that I didn't recognize, so I asked.It was a Bobby Womack album.That sparked Matt, who's somewhat obsessed with the mythology surrounding the recording of Sly and The Family Stone's There's A Riot Going On album, to ask Ike a question about it...Ike and Bobby play, uncredited, on the album?Ike hazily recalled some details of a house in the canyon but not much more.The girlfriend dialed her cell phone and handed it over.Ike was great to work with and when people ask who my favorite clients have been, I always think of him.Click here for divorce
