Ike & Tina Turner Documentary

[@tonicarter1322]

After watching this I researched Ike's career. His work as a producer and songwriter is very impressive, his influence is understated. His early life would make a fascinating movie or series. A young black man in the 1950s working as a producer at Sun Records and searching for talent in the segregated South while leading his own band. He records "Rocket 88" which is considered the first Rock n roll song, then he moves to St. Louis and transforms the city with a new sound. Imagine the characters: Sam Phillips, Elvis Presley, B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf, Bobby "Blue" Bland, Pinetop Perkins, Sonny Boy Williamson, Otis Rush.

[@icandesire]

Because of his abusive status, I wouldn’t watch it

[@tonicarter1322]

@@icandesire What abusive status? Ike was never charged with abuse but I'm sure you've watched movies by plenty of actors and directors, and listened to music by music by musicians who were abusive. Most have been forgiven for their transgressions and their contributions are prioritized over their personal life. Tina has a large platform to tell stories about their relationship from her perspective but that doesn't make it all truthful. Whatever you think about Ike, he was a pioneer and his musical contributions are important.

[@icandesire]

@@tonicarter1322 No one’s doubting that he was a pioneer. He was just a pioneer that was abusive and doesn’t deserve my accolades. The same goes to artists who are abusive. I’m sure if this was your mother you wouldn’t have the same stance. That’s my last reply. Don’t bother.

[@johnschultz2968]

@@icandesire ... Oh, really? Then why are you here? You're here.... Commenting on a a video..... You say you won't watch. ....... Is it just me?

[@tonicarter1322]

@@icandesire Ike was never charged for abuse like many artists who are accused of abuse. There are no legal records to support Tina's claims. She wasn't an innocent victim. According to some people, Tina was violent herself. Ike admitted they had fights but it wasn't one-sided. Tina chose to stay with him all those years and benefited from their relationship as much as he did. Ike's accolades are for his career not his personal life. He did his time for the drug charges. His accolades were hard-earned and he contributed to the development of blues and rock & roll. What are your accolades?

Since understanding how much childhood trauma shapes your adult life - hearing that Ike Turner was sexually abused from the age of 6 by 3 grown woman shows me he was angry at all woman from that young age. He made sure all woman suffered because in his little 6 year old mind, all woman were predators and out to get him. He had a “get them before they get me” mentality. This is why it is SO important to protect and love your children at all costs. Their future depends on it

[@bluesugar58]

Being sexually abused so young twisted his perception on sex. When Ike talks about being preyed on by grown women in his book, he said he wasn't traumatized. "That's probably why every relationship I was in was surrounded by sex. Sex was power to me," he said. I don't think he had the mentality to make all women suffer. A majority of his defenders are women he helped. He hired a lot of women and most say they never witnessed any violence from him. However, he was self admittedly selfish when it came to his needs in a relationship and he expressed remorse later in his life.

Redd Foxx was open about his cocaine addiction and Elvis Presley reportedly used liquid cocaine. Ike and Tina had a residency at the International Hotel with Redd Foxx and Elvis in 1969. It's possible that's when they introduced Ike to cocaine. When Elvis was still a truck driver, her used to sneak into black clubs in West Memphis to watch Ike play piano. Ike said many years later Elvis approached him at the International Hotel and asked if he remembered him. That's when he realized he was the white boy who used to watch him play.

[@trevorzilno2686]

That information was excluded to make Tina seem like an innocent virgin. Her first born was named Raymond Craig after his biological father Raymond Hill. Raymond was a musician in Ike's band. He left Tina when she was 18 and pregnant. Ike adopted Tina's son and he was renamed Craig Raymond. He committed suicide a few months before his 60th birthday in 2018. Tina is estranged from the rest of her sons, including her biological son Ronnie. Tina doesn't have a relationship with her grandchildren either. Her adopted son Ike Jr. gave a radio interview a few years ago talking about his upbringing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJWYdJSNoJp8r8U

@@lifeinsights7695 therapy doesn't always work. In fact, MOST of the time it does not work. Especially for all the issues Ike had to overcome. Nice of you to sit on your high horse never probably having had to go through ANY of the issues he did and say, "he should've got therapy". They're therapists not magicians. There's only so much they can do. Therapy didn't help me with ANY of my issues and I went to several different therapist for 18 YEARS. It did not help one single thing and my issues were just a drop in the bucket compared to Ike's.

[@googlereviewer4039]

I agree. Childhood trauma and abuse is very difficult to overcome as demonstrated by our prisins full of men and women who were abused and traumatized as young people. 80 percent of female hard drug addicted prostitutes were sexually abused as youngsters. Unless you've had this happen to you as a youngster, you really shouldn't be passing judgement. Nevertheless it's a reason for negative adult behavior that hurts others, but not an excuse. People still need to protect themselves from harm some of these harmed folks perpetuate to others. I do believe everyone, prisoners too, should be treated humanely, respectfully and compassionately. 16:18

@larzuga1 Tina's oldest son Craig carried Ike's surname Turner. His name was changed when he was very young and he was still a Turner at the time of his death in 2018. Ike considered Craig his son, and Ike was the only father he knew. The movie purposely implied that Ike was his biological child by excluding Tina's relationship with Raymond Hill. That was part of the narrative to make Tina seem like an innocent virgin. She was 18 years old when she had Craig and his biological father Raymond left Tina when she was pregnant. It's interesting that Tina never berates Raymond for leaving her to be a single teen mother. Ike took Tina and her son in when she was living in a garage. He made sure she was financially stable and started her music career.
