Ike & Tina Turner - Proud Mary (The Ed Sullivan Show) REACTION/REVIEW

[@ThatsJustMyBabyDaddy]

RIP, Tina. She came and did what needed to be done. What beautiful gifts she left for us all.❤❤❤

[@ericanderson8886]

Love the CCR original and the Tina Turner fire version of this song. Ed Sullivan was a staple on sunday night for years. Millions watched.

[@DazzleMonroe]

RIP Tina. What a star

[@KennyY-bh3zl]

"Proud Mary", written by John Fogerty, was a CCR original and a big hit for them in '69, Biz. Two years later, in '71, Ike and Tina covered it and once again Proud Mary was a hit. Ike is the dude in the purple jacket at 1:25 of the video playing guitar or bass. Ike and Tina's version won them a Grammy in '72 for "Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Band." What a thrill to see Tina perform "Proud Mary" in '81 when she opened for the Stones. Others from Ike and Tina - "Nutbush City Limits", "River Deep Mountain High"(a masterpiece), "Honky Tonk Women", "I've Been Loving You Too Long", "Come Together".

Thank u for sharing this info, u were so blessed to see and experience this Queen! I just learned that she has left us, and I'm so sad, but yet the timing of this showing up on my Home page was just eerie and so somber...🥹😢 Thank u so much for your awesome reaction BizMatik! RIP Queen🙏🏽💗💗💗💐💐💐

[@KennyY-bh3zl]

@@earth2kosmickitty I just heard the awful news as well, my friend. Yes, eerie and somber is a good way to describe the feeling. But through her music and videos Tina will live forever. Look at Elvis and John Lennon. I don't believe the music legends we've lost are ever truly gone. RIP Tina, and thank you for the all the great music.

[@earth2kosmickitty]

@@KennyY-bh3zl Thank u friend for your response and heartfelt words... I agree wholeheartedly that they are never truly gone, but live on forever through their music that thankfully will continue to be discovered for generations to come...I feel so very fortunate that I was one of the many people who were touched by her music, beauty, soul, and stage presence, which will continue to touch many generations to come. Thank u, and rest easy Queen T👑💗💗💗

@@earth2kosmickitty There will never be another like her. God Bless Tina Turner.

Tina Turner is the "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll". She has spanned over 6 decades of music. She started out with her husband Ike & had some hits such as "It's Gonna Work Out Fine", "River Deep-Mountain High", "Nutbush City Limits". But she had even bigger hits when she went solo such as "What's Love Got To Do With It", "Better Be Good To Me", "Private Dancer", "We Don't Need Another Hero (from Thunderdome)", "Typical Male", "The Best", "I Don't Wanna Fight", "GoldenEye" (James Bond movie), "It's Only Love" (duet with Bryan Adams).

[@timmistorey5989]

Tina was doing it way before Beyonce. She's just fantastic ❤

[@foots-qt4pk]

Way before, and WAY better!

[@rikardkaar3682]

Beyonce who ?🐻

Just saw news reporting that Tina Turner passed away today at 83. RIP to a queen.

[@jasonmccluskey3623]

NUTBUSH CITY LIMITS!

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Yes!

[@spikebeans9563]

Just listened to that one. Killer tune.

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

05/24/23 The news has just broken that Tina Turner has passed away at age 83. Another great has left the Stage. RIP Tina, and thank you.

[@guitarman8462]

Another great song from Tina Turner is " Acid Queen " from the musical " Tommy ".

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Others have already said the essentials about them but this really is only the second half of the stage act for this show. This was the Ed Sullivan Show so they're going to make it as G-rated as possible and it's going to be much shorter. But the one that they normally did, and there are several different live footage KZbin videos available for this, and they're all good, and I loved this as well, I just really think you would love and should react to one of the longer versions where you get to see it, because she announces the whole thing and she runs the whole show, for that song in particular, and then she has a talking part at the beginning about how they're going to do it slow and then they're going to do it fast, and it's really sexy and all that. And then they do it slow, and it's so slow that you get to hear every bit of nuance in her voice, and that band was actually fantastic as well.

[@LaptopLarry330]

Ike Turner was a songwriter and lead guitarist when he worked with Tina Turner. But prior to that, he had his own band named Ike Turner And His Kings Of Rhythm. In the early-1950s, he was a session piano player, and a talent scout for the Meteor/Flair/Modern family of record labels for the Bihari Brothers in Memphis, Tennessee and Chicago, Illinois. He played piano on “Rocket 88” by Jackie Brenston And His Delta Cats, and “Hand In Hand”, by Elmore James.

[@trblmakr7572]

No auto tune, no hooks, just star power, rest in peace to the legend Tina Turner

[@vicmusgrave1278]

R.I.P. Tina. Pure entertainer. Love Tina.

[@RavenFire4]

RIP Queen.. the world has lost a great lady … 😢😢😢

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Their song Nutbush City Limits, either the live or the studio version, is so cool. It's autobiographical about Tina's childhood.

[@sirex02]

RIP Tuna Turner. Truly an icon of mega proportions!!!

[@samrindge8042]

Tina Turner was the show but Ike Turner put it all together. He wrote, produced and arranged most of their music. He was also the bandleader. He can't take credit for Tina's natural talent but he came up with the concept for her stage persona down to the her name. Ike was am established musician before he discovered Tina. His song "Rocket 88" is considered the first rock and roll song. He discovered many blues musicians as a talent scout, including Howlin' Wolf, Little Milton, Bobby "Blue" Bland and Rosco Gordon. Ike also played piano on B.B. King's first two No. 1 songs.

[@nolansteiner4771]

love this song. watched your great RX this morning and thought "one day I'd love to meet Tina Turner", since she's just so awesome. Didn't realize at the time that later today that she passed away. RIP Tina. She's simply the best.

[@williamii3108]

You’ve got to watch the award-winning documentary 20 feet from stardom, if you haven’t already. It features some of the top back-up singers over the years, including Claudia lennear, the tall Ikette in that clip. Guarantee you will like it.

[@tannonwraith4692]

What a great choice, what a great performance. Ike and Tina had a truly toxic relationship. Tina's catalog is defiantly worth jumping into and her life story is one of hardship, tenacity and intestinal fortitude, also worth looking into.

[@izzonj]

What timing, Biz. Rest in peace, Queen Tina

[@lydiajoy1823]

RIP gorgeous talented Tina. And the backup singers are also beyond fabulous. Wish I had long legs like hers!

[@sonnywolfblues]

Such an awesome combination of Rock and Soul music.Check out 'baby get it on' from them.Ike was the guitar player and musical arranger.

[@maryhanrahan]

Tina's hit 'Simply the Best' - my favorite version is the one she did with Jimmy Barnes - awesome version and she sounds and looks incredible in that video

[@joesmith1957]

One of the first concerts I attended, this same year, Ike and Tina Turner Review at Chico State College. I was 13 and it blew my little mind!

[@brianmccullough5764]

This is exactly the same line-up I saw not long after at Amherst College, except Ike was not present, home with pneumonia or something. We didn't miss him. Did you notice the slight lyric change? They sang it "rolling DOWN the river" early on, changing it to ON the river later.

[@true1evanique]

I always took it as a census thing, which I heard they were tough on Ike and Tina back in the day.

[@debraschiro6234]

Tina Turner died this morning in Switzerland 83 years old we will miss you and we love you your music goes on❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢

[@dipsydoodle7988]

Tina had that star quality right from the start.

[@kristahartmann6712]

Live vid of "It's Only Love" with THE TINA in concert...joined onstage by Bryan Adams who wrote/performed the original. It gets all electric-attraction between the 2 that's palpable & fabulous. Memorable. Tina at her hot peak.

[@shiva1742]

I was a college student in 1962 in Knoxville TN when some friends and I went over to the black part of town, when audiences had to be racially segregated by law, and saw the Ike and Tina Revue. It was mind blowing. At another time same year, we saw the James Brown show. That was back when most R & B performers played at small chitlin' circuit venues. This was before they "crossed over" to a wider audience. Baby, that music was pure gold!

[@bearballin]

Ike Turner was the musical director of the "Revue" and Tina and the Ikettes were his all stars! Their routines were so physically demanding they changed the girls out every 90 days! But Tina was the constant. Check out "A Fool in Love", "Nut Bush City Limits" and "Bold Soul Sister (BSS)"!

[@timmistorey5989]

Just witness greatness and beauty 😍

[@joecampos5624]

Ike was a big band leader back in the club day's

[@barrydraper]

When John Fogerty wrote "Proud Mary" 45 years ago, he had never cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis or hitched a ride on a riverboat queen. But he was on to something with those lyrics.

[@joecampos5624]

Ike had a big band he had a real good band...in st Louis...those days bands played live...

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

LOVE Tina Turner. She was a ball of energy and a great singer. PP Arnold (the beautiful background singer for Small Faces Tin Soldier) started out as an Ikette and writes about the experience in her recent memoir. I looked, but couldn't tell if one of these dancers was Pat - they were moving too fast! She writes that Ike was a hard taskmaster and they worked very hard to choreograph these chaotic seeming performances. She claimed that Ike was a terrible person who sexually abused her and the other Ikettes and beat Tina regularly. Ike was the boss and I believe he played guitar (or bass). PP escaped from them in London, and Tina finally had enough abuse and left him later, where she went on to blossom into the star she was surely meant to be. Tina is one of a kind and a true icon - respect !!

[@MelanieMaguire]

Legend. Let's hear it for the Ikettes too!

[@kierstenridgway4634]

All four women are so fit!! I'm out of breath just watching them!! 😆

Thanks for your reaction! Tina Turner just passed away today so you may want to do some more Tina Turner on your channel over the next few days.

[@sammilandi2918]

The best legs in rock and roll! I was blessed to see her twice. RIP my queen.

[@caroljshepherd3848]

You're right, this was fire but watch her do it years later at Wembley stadium. She was astonishingly good. As for your question about Ike, he's the one at the back glowering at the girls.

[@mikecaetano]

Classic! "Proud Mary" was a huge hit for CCR in 1969. Ike Turner arguably released the first rock and roll single, "Rocket 88", in 1951. That's Claudia Lennear with the Ikettes, standing on the right in the close ups of the three of them doing that hand rolling gesture, and closest to Tina during the slow parts -- that got cut from the video. Claudia Lennear is often credited as the inspiration for The Rollng Stones "Brown Sugar" and David Bowie's "Lady Grinning Soul". She also sang back up for Joe Cocker, including on his legendary live 1970 album, Mad Dogs and Englishmen, recorded over two nights at the Fillmore East. Check out "The Letter" or "Feelin' Alright" from that album or "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window".

"What did Ike do?" Lmao played bass and rode her coat tails

RIP Tina!

[@julieb.5860]

jagger always said he learned his dance moves from the greatest of them all, ms Tina Turner, but of course she's better at it.

[@davidw7]

Seems like BizMatik recorded this before Tina's Death with no reference to it.... RIP TINA. Doesn't get better than - Tina Live.... here at the end of the long running Ed Sullivan Show and pretty much HD and Color recorded live showing Tina was a STAR already despite her personal trauma with Ike. So lucky we have the archives of the Ed Sullivan Show over so many years of iconic performances from the show....

[@scottgelb2650]

This is a great performance but my favorite is "Ike & Tina Turner - Proud Mary (1971) | LIVE" Check it out.

Hi Biz! Can I request Tina Turner and Jimmy Barnes, Simply the Best! I think you will LOVE IT! Thanks. Peace and Blessings from Australia.

Just FYI. Proud Mary was a Mississippi River Boat

[@tombeyerlein3813]

The Ike and Tina Turner Revue was one of the most exciting groups of the late '60s and early '70s, imo. Ike discovered and molded Tina into the great star she became. He was a great bandleader, funky guitarist and rock pioneer before Tina entered his life. (Ike is the guitarist in the purple suit.) He was abusive, and Tina had no choice but to leave him. She went on to have some huge solo hits, but I found her solo work to be slick pop, weak and disappointing after the volcano of energy that was the Ike and Tina Turner Revue. Nonetheless, Tina was a tremendous performer and a beloved personality who will be sorely missed.

[@daniellaplume3840]

I do like the soundtrack album of the movie What's Love Got to Do With it. It's pretty fire

[@aysebeyzaunal527]

Tina has died today. 😢 Rest in peace Tina 🥺
