R.I.P Tina Turner

Ike & Tina Turner were an American musical duo consisting of husband and wife Ike Turner and Tina Turner. From 1960 to 1976, they performed live as the Ike & Tina Turner Revue, supported by Ike Turner's band the Kings of Rhythm and backing vocalists called the Ikettes. The Ike & Tina Turner Revue was regarded as "one of the most potent live acts on the R&B circuit."[2]

The duo had a string of R&B hits with their early recordings "A Fool In Love", "It's Gonna Work Out Fine", "I Idolize You", "Poor Fool", and "Tra La La La La". The release of "River Deep – Mountain High" in 1966, followed by a tour of the UK with The Rolling Stones, increased their popularity in Europe. Their later works are noted for interpretive soul-infused re-arrangements of rock songs such as "Come Together", "Honky Tonk Woman", and "Proud Mary", the latter of which won them a Grammy Award in 1972.[3] Ike & Tina Turner received the first Golden European Record Award for their international hit "Nutbush City Limits" in 1974.[4] They released dozens of albums; their most successful being Workin' Together and Live at Carnegie Hall. Pitchfork listed their album River Deep – Mountain High among the best of its era. In spite of their success, Ike's cocaine addiction and a tumultuous marriage which allegedly included abusive behavior led to a high profile spilt in 1976 after Tina filed for divorce following an altercation.

Ike & Tina Turner were inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1991.[5] They have two singles inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, "River Deep – Mountain High" and "Proud Mary".[6] Rolling Stone ranked them No. 2 on its list of the 20 Greatest Duos of All Time.[7]
