Ike & Tina Turner Revue "Bold Soul Sister" on The Ed Sullivan Show

[@trevorzilno2686]

This is Tina Turner at her best, a Bold Soul Sister.

[@YourExcellency]

This gave me life. Just imagine, she was abandoned by her mother and ended up becoming a mega star, living legend. No one saw a female artist like her until her. She is definitely an American icon

Facts The Late Janis Joplin Said Tina Was Her Favorite Singer/Performer Tina Turner Rules And Is The Queen of Rock and Roll

[@YourExcellency]

@@cjturner370correct. Let’s be real. Black music is what shaped American music.

Most protagonist are orphans or orphan adjacent. Like Jesus who has no Earth daddy, characters like Bambi, Dorothy Gale, Dumbo, Cinderella, Aladin, Ariel, Simba, etc, are figures with a void of some kind that go on a journey of self discovery and in the process they become the hero of themselves and those they touch.

[@YourExcellency]

@@comeagyn this inspires me.

[@ronaldmulukom7477]

Woman pure sang ❤

[@ΚωνσταντίνοςΒΑΒΟΥΔΑΚΗΣ-ξ2λ]

Totally energetic!!!!

[@JerjerB]

This song is STILL rocking our houses all these years later!

[@ronaldmulukom7477]

More than that

[@edufau815]

One of the greatest, a force of nature, a legend, the queen of rock'n'roll, simply the best... All this has been said about Tina, but I think we may have forgotten the adjective that best describes her: a survivor. She was reborn several times from her own ashes, both artistically and personally, to accompany us for more than five decades and be part of the sentimental memory of several generations. When a figure of that caliber leaves us, something also dies inside each of us... Fortunately, as always, all the incredible music remains, her unmistakable voice, her energetic dances, her long hair, her female empowerment, her legendary legs and all the icons that she was creating throughout her career, to preserve her memory and continue to feel that she is still there.

[@JaySmith-wo3di]

Her stage presence was EVERYTHING.

[@brt5273]

I can remember as a little kid hearing the adults going on and on about Tina and flocking to see her everytime they toured through our town. We kids got to see snippets like this but it wasn't until the 1980s when I finally got to see a televised full show and fell head over heels. Then finally in 1990 caught her in live concert during her Foreign Affair tour. What an experience....and each live concert I saw just got better and better. Some of the most memorable experiences of my life and I feel lucky to have lived in those times.

[@ronaldmulukom7477]

I think the best preference ever ❤

[@johnsanders6695]

❤❤❤The BOLDEST!!

[@TonyGPizza]

This performance on Ed Sullivan was the first time my beautiful wife had seen Tina Turner perform. Michelle was a fan and Tina an inspiration to her to this day. We had the pleasure to see Tina in 2008 and later, the show about her life in London's West End.

[@SewManyThings]

Tina was such a beautiful and talented woman❤️

[@Skribe2354]

Raw AF! I know it's a sly stone rhythm but damn do they crush it

[@YourExcellency]

Wow. That was fantastic. She really was and is a star.

[@DCGuy1997]

Tina--so young and beautiful! Ed really seemed to enjoy it. I prefer her 80's solo work but what a talent!

[@bmuhamad]

Airbody's tearin' it up. The live horns, drums, bass, guitar, voices, & dances, make me happy. 😂🎉😊

[@jacobzehner2004]

Tina Turner just passed away May the queen of rock rest easy. 😔

[@AndresManosalvas]

Tina is one of my favorite artists ever, a treasure for our contemporary music. God BLESS her for her talent

[@cecilknowles4180]

That guitar killing it

[@michaelrochester48]

Noticed that Ed Sullivan put his arm around Tina Turner and held her hand in 1969 when only a year before, in 1968, Petula Clark got into hot water for putting her arm around Harry Bellafonte? Ed Sullivan was part of the cataclysmic change in American society

[@kevingoins9858]

You mean Harry Belafonte

[@michaelrochester48]

Kevin Goins I said Harry...voice to text turned it into something else

[@design17]

And he (Ed) kissed Pearl Bailey in the mouth. And lived Diana Ross.

[@archiecraven6086]

She just touched his arm, and people thought the world ended. I like to think that Ed Sullivan did it on purpose to make a point and that he was ahead of his time.

[@zonagale1144]

Ed Sullivan fought to get Black performers on his show

[@luciverdad4834]

The Ikette with the long hair is Claudia Lennear. She was in the film 20 Feet from Stardom. Claudia dated Mick Jagger and David Bowie. She is often cited as inspiration for the Rolling Stones song "Brown Sugar" and Bowie's "Lady Grinning Soul."

[@lemonhead162]

David Bowie wrote that song for an old girlfriend back in England, not the lovely Claudia.

[@ekayaniperforms]

God bless Ed Sullivan !!! He took a lot of risks for black America! Dang the ikettes are leggy 🦵🦵🦵! Can see shades of Prince in Ike's purple ness haha And Tina what can I say 🔥 Mr Sullivan roaring « Come on! « ❤❤❤❤❤

[@johnmitchelljr]

Great video. I don't to be negative but the tasteless people who down voted this need a musical transplant. Thanks very much.

[@yansatoussaint2266]

Soul Sistas really knew how to back that thang up.❤

[@Dion_Mustard]

Beyonce once tried to do a Tina performance on stage but she didn't have a patch on Miss Turner! Some artists you just DO NOT try to imitate. I think Ike, as abusive as he was, was a very talented musician. He could spot the SOUL/Rock n Roll quality in an artist. He brought the SOUL out of Tina that's for sure. Just a shame the drugs turned him into a maniac and a shame his legacy will always be remembered for his abusive treatment toward Tina :(

[@Dion_Mustard]

@Funkdafied 89 no she really didn't.

[@true1evanique]

"Some artists you just DO NOT try to imitate." TinaTurner and Aretha Franklin.

[@marcioalvesferreira3378]

MARAVILHOSAS!!!!!

[@pqdlindasgaiolascarlinhosd5758]

Tina 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@hightreestess]

Those legs! Tina had powerful sexy legs! Dancin around in stilletos is no easy task! 💛 She definitely was a bold soul sistah! I love the guy that keeps wooting it up in the crowd! Woooooo! 👏🏻 😂

[@keithbartholomew2990]

Tina rocks!!!

[@cactus-wren]

The Beautiful Tina Turner!

[@juanosorio4861]

Tina a great voice...

[@filsdejeannoir1776]

0:02 He's struggling to speak over his vampire teeth.

[@samanthagrantpopsoulrbdoow115]

tina turner is amazing and beauiful.

[@BieneMaja5610]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼

[@morrismsmith7997]

🙏

[@MarkAbeel]

Turners did the riff first and preceded Stone by over a decade

[@filsdejeannoir1776]

0:39 Oh I love the bone!

[@bahhumbug9824]

Hmmm..Ed also says "and they're wonderful" in the video from this uploader for "Proud Mary." Were they spliced?

[@Branner]

Bass line is the same as Sly Stone's "Sing a Simple Song."

[@tomsku69]

and same as The Who did later on 'Relay' in 1972..

[@MarkAbeel]

The Turner's did it first

[@filsdejeannoir1776]

1:07 That's a proper black man. None of this creme caramel!

[@mrstanbmw]

it have been said that Ike got a bad rap for being a bad husband, for whatever its worth The Ike and Tina Turner Revue was one of the baddest bands ever.

[@laminage]

Somebody used this Song to pay hommage to The Black Female Actresses on Soaps. So many of them are no longer on their respective shows.

[@tomsku69]

Sounds like The Who got some inspiration from that bass/guitar line in their song 'Relay'.

[@arcanum3010]

american woman by guess who had a similar riff

[@filsdejeannoir1776]

2:07 "Come 'ere!"??!!

[@malabesf]

Andre 3000 on the guitar

[@ricardoleiva3577]

heeeeyy yaaa!! 🎶

[@ceeceetracey9839]

lol

[@oldbeatpete]

Ed- is that YOU?!

[@lemonhead162]

I would've LOVED to have seen Ike & Tina live, but, alas, I wasn't born until 1974. I think Ike simply doesn't get the credit for any of his talents. He was a lousy husband, but a bad ass musician! That movie really ruined his reputation beyond repair!

[@shivaumesh1129]

The guitar rhythm sounds like "sing a simple song" by Sly and the Family Stone.

[@kevingoins9858]

Sure is!! Tina also name drops a verse from the Isley Brothers It's Your Thing.

[@tomsku69]

Listen to The Who and 'Relay' too..

[@primadonna223]

I wonder if that last back up singer got fined for being in the frame at the end?

[@roswithaholy8785]

So geile Mädels !! Und der unscheinbare und komische Mann im Hintergrund glaubt der Chef zu sein 😅😅😅

[@toddgilbert]

Rip off of Sly "Sing A Simple Song" riff

[@arcanum3010]

Which came out in 1968 if I error not.

[@rctubs3593]

That's a Sly Stone riff.
