Ike & Tina Turner - Honky Tonk Women (1971)

Ike & Tina Turner were an American musical duo active during the 1960s and 1970s, consisting of the husband-and-wife team Ike Turner and Tina Turner. Rolling Stone ranked them No. 2 on their list of the 20 Greatest Duos of All Time.
Beginning in 1960, 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". Their live performances were a musical spectacle in the style of James Brown and the Famous Flames.
The duo's early recordings, which include "A Fool In Love", "It's Gonna Work Out Fine", and "I Idolize You", became high points in the development of soul music. Their later works are noted for interpretive 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. The Turners' professional and personal relationship ended in 1976, and their divorce was finalized in 1978.
Ike & Tina Turner were inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1991. They have two singles inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, "River Deep - Mountain High" and "Proud Mary".

I've grown up being lied to by my closed-minded parents about black people and black music. I am currently listening to a lot of Stax records from back in the day and my mind is utterly blown. This music is soo good. Grooves so hard. Regardless of what my parents think, thank god for black people and the music they gave the world. If you are black music savy, please recommend me some music to listen to in the comments here. Thanks, friends.

Facts brotha! There was no rock n roll queen before her. Tina's vocals are second-to-none. She covered most genres of modern music. Rock, funk, pop, soul, jazz, blues, gospel. Highly versatile. Viva Tina!

[@possiblymerciless4003]

Ike&Tina Turner 1971, during the week they gave a 1.5 hour concert in the studio.Was like a private concert, because only a few insiders and the recording crew were present. I stood behind a camera, with the cable in my hand as if hypnotized, electrified, eroticized, as if on an LSD trip in another world sunk and was only minutes after this dreamlike experience again reasonably clear in my head.

This was one of the most awesome groups back in the 70's. I saw the Ike & Tina Revue in the early 70's at U.D. Arena in Dayton. I have been to hundreds of concerts over the years and they had 2+ hours of kickass music. This was my favorite concert of all that I have seen.

Agreed. I feel bad because I really want to love her music once she got free of Ike but I just can't get into it.

[@ty7504]

Me too, dear Tom-of-Vesely. There was just something, very generally, so special that was happening in The 70s that other eras have not been able to replicate or communicate, even though their music technologies have long since advanced. Some things do indeed boil down to zeitgeist and the specific spirit, ethos and feel of a specific time in history. GOD BLESS YOU.

Not really, they were invited in 1966 by the Stones in a London show, looking at Tina she was a classical rythm and blues dancer at this period, I think it's more like they both influenced each other.

The song itself is already brill ... the musical male-band re-interpretation behind it (just like that of the originators "The Rolling Stones") is also brill ... and then how the ladies bring their energy-and-goodness-and-beauty to the mix bring tears to both male and female audience members. DEAR IKE AND TINA OF TURNER-NESS ... WE SO WISH YOU HAD ONLY HEALTHILY REMAINED TOGETHER ... AND HEALTHILY WEATHERED AND HEALTHILY RISEN ABOVE CERTAIN MATRIMONIAL STORMS ... EVEN IN THE YEAR 2021 AND FOR CENTURIES BEYOND, YOU BOTH STILL AND WILL ALWAYS (MINUS THE ABUSIVE DRAMA) REMAIN A BEAUTIFUL COUPLE TO SO MANY OF US. LET TRUTH BE TOLD.
