A theme of husband and wife musical acts;
Ike Turner was one of the greats of the 50s and 60s, making some of the most influential records of the era, from one of the earliest rock and roll records like Rocket 88 to the Soul pop with wife Tina. The word genius comes to mind. It's such a shame that he will be mainly known for his role as a bad guy in the Tina Turner story, or the lamentable Spector hit 'River Deep Mountain High'. Enjoy this clip of the husband and wife duo at their peak. Ike had confidence problems when this single was recorded and got session man Mickey Guitar Baker (of another male/female duo Mickey and Sylvia) to do the 'Ikey' vocal parts. Ike Turner wiki
