The Soul of Ike and Tina Turner

Tina Turner s solo success in the mid Eighties with the multi million-selling Private Dancer album and double Grammy-winning single What s Love Got To DoWith It was billed as a comeback. In reality, the former Anna Mae Bullock was reaping the rewards for the decades of hard work she d put in as half of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. If you tuned in to Tina when What s Love... hit the top, then prepare to be educated, not to mention entertained, as we turn back the clock to the days when she was turning it on nightly as half of the hardest-working double act in music. The material here reaches back to take in Ike and Tina s first Stateside hits, A Fool In Love (Number 27 pop/2 R&B in 1960) and It s GonnaWork Out Fine (Number 14 pop/2 R&B in 1961). We then take a detour to take in all 12 tracks on The Soul Of Ike And Tina Turner , released by Sue Records in 1961, before sweeping up 1962 singles like You Should Have Treated Me Right , Tra La La La La and Poor Little Fool , all of which made the Billboard Hot 100.
