4 out of 5 stars Proud Mary:The Best of Ike & Tina Turner.......2007-04-10

Thie album has a lot of my favorite songs by Ike & Tina which I heard when they first came out. If you like the original versions of oldies this is a good one.

2 out of 5 stars The Ike & Tina Turner Review, 1960-1975.......2007-02-02

Finding a good Ike & Tina compilation is no easy task. Not only did they record for multiple record labels, there are a plethora of low-budget and low-quality compilations available. This is one of the decent ones.

PROUD MARY: THE BEST OF IKE & TINA TURNER (from the "Legends of Rock n' Roll Series") consists of 23 songs recorded 1960-1975, in chronological order. Also included are two uncredited ("bonus") tracks; they are two commercials/radio ads for Ike & Tina. Disc packaged in black jewel case; total running time: 73:07. Booklet (in the form of a 6-pannel map-style fold-out sheet) includes a substantial small-font essay by Al Quaaglieri, one b&w photo of Ike & Tina, a photo of an assortment of original Ike & Tina album covers, and track information (including release dates and chart positions). Sound quality ranges from poor (on earlier recordings) to good; volume is low on all tracks.

This compilation seems to cover, with the exception of their Blue Thumb recordings, most of their career. Ike & Tina's labels included Sue, Modern/Kent, Warner Bros./Loma, Minit, Atlantic/Pompeii, Liberty, and United Artists. I do wish it included "Shake a Tail Feather".

The vocals of this Tina Turner are closer to that of LaVern Baker, Etta James, Lyn Collins, or Janis Joplin than to the pop/rock singer she would later become. She shouts and screams, often singing in a strained, almost forced-sounding, voice.

Notes: The version of "River Deep, Mountain High" is not the Phil Spector version; the version included is from the "Nutbush City Limits" LP. The voice heard on "It's Gonna Work Out Fine" and addressed as "Ikey" is not Ike Turner; it is Mickey of studio team Mickey & Sylvia. Ike's voice is heard on "Baby-Get It On", where he sings co-lead vocals. It is also interesting that the essayist mentions several times that the Ike & Tina story "would make a great movie" - this was a couple years before the 1993 bio-pic "What's Love Got to Do With It" was released.

1 out of 5 stars What a mess.......2007-01-25

First the sound quality is poor - I had my stereo turned almost up to max and it was just loud enuf to hear.

Then there are the uncredited/unlisted "bonus tracks" - they are comercials/radio ads for Ike & Tina.

The version of "River Deep, Mountain High" is not the Phil Spector version.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding.......2005-08-26

This is a really good album. Anybody that hasn't heard this should listen to it.

5 out of 5 stars The roughest, hardest, rarest and best of Ike and Tina!.......2004-01-28

This stuff is the perfect compliment to any best of Ike and Tina album. There are no other albums, apart from the album 'Working Together' that are currently available, that give you such a good impression of Ike and Tina.

What we have on here is the wild and funky hard soul stuff, albeit with a touch of psychedelic funk-rock. For me this is what I had hoped that they had recorded. Most tracks I'd heard by them sounded a bit dull, or uninspired compared to Bold Soul Sister and a handful of the tracks on the best ofs.

These tracks sound pretty rough, even for the time, and would dfinitely benefit from remastering, to bring out the brightness of the drums and tighten the bass. But then again that garage band sound is part of the charm. I mean, Tinas voice is at least as rough as the recordings!

Best track on here is, for me, The Game Of Love. I wish that heavy soul sound had been pursued a bit more. Theres shades of Ann Peebles or Ann Sexton on it.

Quite a bit of over eager 'fozzie bear' style guitar (Wacka Wacka!) but Ike's playing is great, punctuated with some firey R and B/Blues style licks.

All in all, my favourite recordings by the band and in some ways the most cohesive re-release yet by Ike and Tina.

Dont be put off by the fact that Tina's 80's to recent output is so sterile, or the fact that Tina is so famous. This is the absolute antithesis of that sound. If you want hard soul, raw funk and rocking tunes then this is where to start!

5 out of 5 stars The Best of the Forgotten Classics.......2002-10-23

This compilation has been a long time coming. Many of these Ike and Tina Turner songs have never seen the light of day on CD. It's about time. Gems like "The Chopper", "Up on the Roof" and "Doin It" should not be relegated to sitting in the bins of used LP stores. These songs deserve to be heard. Ike and Tina Turner have created a number of classic records and these songs sit comfortably among their best.

The disc opens with the ever funky "Funkier Than a Mosquitas Tweeter" which was penned by Tina's sister Alline. Was she talking about Ike? :) Tina's wildly uplifting reading of the track blows Nina Simone's bastardized rendition out of the water. The disc continues on with funk and soul drenched songs such as "What You Don't See" and "Baby, What You Want Me To Do" which would make Sly Stone proud. Soul, always a component of every Turner record turns up more predominately on cuts such as "Game of Love", "Up On the Roof (from the 'Let Me Touch Your Mind' LP) and "Whole Lotta Love" which was an R&B hit for Tina alone in 1975. And though many think Ike to be the sole svengali and mastermind behind the revue, Tina also made her writing attempts. You would be remiss to neglect to mention "Nutbush City Limits" (not on the disc), but she had other fine moments. "The Chopper" sits right alongside 'Nutbush' and other Tina tunes such as 'Sexy Ida' and 'Help Him'. The showstopper of this disc, however, is the addition of a sexy, soulful song from the Turner's 1969 LP 'Come Together' entitled, "Doin' It". Tina's raunchiness is restrained, but her sexual energy explodes over the track as Ike and company pander to her every desire to "change the groove". This is Aaliyah's "Rock the Boat" 32 years earlier.

In all, this disc has been over 26 years in the making. It's a pleasure to know that these classics are now available to hear without the cracks, pops and hisses of vinyl. The original 'Bold Soul Sister' and her erstwhile husband were indeed as funky as the title of this album suggests.

5 out of 5 stars The Ike & Tina Era.......2006-06-27

This is some great music from a golden era. Funky and Nice!

5 out of 5 stars Phil Spector Brings The Best Out Of Ike and Tina.......2002-07-12

I'll be honest. The only reason I like this album is because of Phil Spector's contributions. I happen to think that Tina Turner is somewhat overrated, and I'll also point out that, "River Deep," is the only appearance she makes in my most impressive music collection. This album is Phil Spector's moment of glory. The Wall Of Sound he creates on here sounds as if it's about to explode through the headphones. He went for it all on this one, and although it was a bomb in the US commercially, it stands as one of the most successful pieces of pop art to come out of the 60s (and that's sayin' a lot).

5 out of 5 stars Some unique tracks... not all Spector........2001-12-18

Other reviews will tell you how excellent this album is. I just want everyone to realise that the tracks were produced by Ike Turner, EXCEPT 1, 3, 6, 8 and 10 (produced by Phil Spector). 'Hold On Baby' is a good bit of Turner-Spector frenzy, and has only ever been issued on this album.

5 out of 5 stars Ike & Tina and Spector stereo classic.......2001-11-20

This album is one of the most influential albums of all time and is a highlight of Phil Spector's career. A few of these songs: I Idolize You, A Fool In Love and It's Gonna Work Out Fine were hits when they were signed to the Sue label and the original versions are on the "Proud Mary: The Best of Ike & Tina Turner" compilation on EMI which is THE essential compilation of their hits spanning their entire career but with nothing from this album although that compilation does have an inferior remake of the title song from this album. The title track of course is the most essential track of the album but the rest of the album is as well produced as this album. I actually have another CD pressing of this album that features this album in stereo plus "Sonny Charles & The Checkmates, Ltd.'s "Love Is All We Have To Give" on CD in stereo, featuring "Black Pearl" as a Spanish import The Sonny Charles album is not available on CD otherwise. As mentioned in another review, all songs from this album that are on the Back To Mono boxed set are in mono, the stereo versions are great while I'll add that another mono copy of the title song is on Tina's "Simply The Best" compilation from 1989 on Capitol with her 1980's comeback hits.

4 out of 5 stars her best art creation so far.......2001-11-20

the first track is awsome. but there r other songs on the album, of very good quality. I'm thinking about "Save the last dance for me", especially, but also about "A love like urs"
Save the last dance it's full of emotion, of passion, of feelings. All this comes through due to Tina's ***** vocals.
I think this whole album is her best art creation so far.
If the title track is indeed most crafted song, possibly the best on the album, i'd like to stress "save the last dance" too, because it's a true song, it expresses pure feeling, nothing from the overwhelmed intensity of the heart is missed, everything is recreated with an almost perfect mastery.
listening to it one senses the hardwork, but it's all the more impressive, because it's trying to reach for the truth and get it out.
river deep mountain high is beyond fashion, while save the last dance for me is under its influence. but it's in a way reflected back, it's used to create the whole, and that's y i consider it one of tina's masterpieces.
maybe someone should re-release it. it has still a lot to say

      4 out of 5 stars Ike & Tina's Kent/Modern recordings.......2007-06-21

      Amongst the many labels that Ike Turner licensed his records to during his unbelievably busy mid-sixties period (managing and touring the Revue, playing guitar and piano, constantly writing and recording) after he left the Sue label, were the Bihari Brothers' Kent and Modern labels, and it is the bulk of these these that are collected here. Ike Turner had an association with the Biharis that dates back to at least 1951, when he played piano on the Howlin' Wolf's first single, Morning At Midnight.

      During the period between 1964 and 1966 six singles appeared on Kent and Modern with varying degrees of commercial success (only two charted): I Can't Believe What You Say, Am I A Fool In Love, Goodbye So Long, Gonna Have Fun, Chicken Shack and, finally, Flee Flee Fla. The frenetic I Can't Believe What You Say (For Seeing What You Do) went on to become a club classic and the song has since been covered by Manfred Mann and Toots and the Maytals, among others. Seven of these twelve sides were collected on a Kent label LP in late 1966 along with five other tracks. The LP was titled The Soul Of Ike And Tina Turner (as an earlier Sue label album had been), and was later reissued on United Artists with a slightly amended track list. The Kent Years includes this LP almost in full (If I Can't Be The First is left off) and adds three of the other single tracks (omitted are Am I A Fool In Love? and its James Brown cover flip, Please, Please, Please).

      Of the other eleven tracks, none were released at the time. Some appeared in 1987 on an album called The Ike And Tina Turner Sessions, the rest are previously unissued; probably stockpiled and gradually forgotten. A couple of these appear to be studio workouts in rehearsal for the live Revue, because the old Eddie Boyd blues Five Long Years begins with a spoken introduction from Tina, as if on stage, and their version of Etta James' All I Could Do Was Cry contains the lengthy monologue about Tina watching her man marry someone else, just as when performed live.

      Virtually all tracks feature the wonderful Ikettes, horns are liberally sprinkled and Ike's distinctive guitar and piano are prominent. He also adds a few vocal moments on the ultra-fast Goodbye, So Long and on Something Came Over Me, a sort of sequel to their most famous hit, A Fool In Love, which it references musically throughout just as Hard Times harks back to It's Gonna Work Out Fine. From The Ike And Tina Turner Sessions, Makin' Plans Together has some rare soulful strings but suffers unfortunately from some wonky edits half-way through - a singular blemish on an otherwise well-presented round-up.

      Tina Turner's vocal style at this time was a world away from that with which she dominated the world in the eighties and nineties, but was aimed at a wholly different audience with whom she was highly successful, and it is excellent news that the confusing clutter of releases from this era are gradually being made sense of and becoming available on compilations such as this one.

      4 out of 5 stars this is the good stuff.......2005-10-07

      that you usually never hear when someone plays Ike and Tina. A lot of fast moving, up tempo tunes from two of the "hardest working people in show business" No way you won't like this CD.

      5 out of 5 stars Great compilation !.......2000-10-16

      I agree with the previous writer that Ike and Tina albums have been treated bad by the record companies. We have been getting compilations by the tons, but almost none of their original albums have been available on CD. Collectables records did release the early albums of their Sue records period on CD. This compilation is a perfect showcase of Ike and Tina in the sixties. It is a must for any Ike and Tina collection. Now let's hope that EMI finally will release their seventies albums with original covers.

      As a big fan of Ike & Tina Turner music,I had always find very annoying the fact that their albums are all over the market butchered up and cut up in pieces,in so called "compilations" without any sence or chronological order.Besides,whatever happend to their early period between first hit "A Fool In Love"(1960) and Phil Spector's ""River Deep,Mountain High"(1966) fiasco?These were years in wilderness,when Ike & Tina Turner Revue worked hard without hits,and FINALLY this wonderful "Kent" compilation traces the missing link.I find very intriguing the way Ike's simply melodies remind on his own early hits (covering himself!),and Tina's vocals were just stunning,althought songs were far from being sutied to her.Its clear that Ike didnt really care much for the recorded material,pushing his simple R&B novelties and earning money on the nightly tours instead."Making Plans Together" was a clear way to get a "Drifters" kind of song,very unusual for a Turner's style!They moved from Spector's "Wall of sound" ("River Deep,Mountain High"1966.) via blues ("Bold Soul Sister"1968.) to rock ("Come Together"1970.,"Working Togeher"1971.,"Nutbush city Limits"1973.) even recording a gospel album ("Gospel According To Ike & Tina"1974.) but this was a important period before they hit big time with white audience.Now,if anyone can trace their work for Ray Charles "Tangerine" label...

      5 out of 5 stars The Definitive Ike and Tina Turner album!!!.......2007-08-02

      This is the album that a trillion years ago got me hooked on the Ike and Tina Turner review. The other reviewers say it all, but I will add that no other live album that I am aware of comes close to capturing such power and excitement. This album is what soul, R & B, and rock and roll are all about.

      5 out of 5 stars Must replace my vinyl..........2006-12-10

      I have the old vinyl to this CD so I put my order in. Now I won't have to flip it over to hear the other side! (lol) I liked a few songs by Ike and Tina as well as by Tina herself. However, this album is probably my favorite. The other reviews said it all so well...so I'll keep it short. It's just hard not to feel the energy they put out on this one. Truly is a MUST have!

      5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Essential.......2006-02-14


      This ranks up there with James Brown's "Live At The Apollo" as one of the greatest R&B concert documents. If you're worried (as I was) about whether playing at Carnegie Hall might have caused Ike and Tina to tone down their performance, fear not. This set absolutely sizzles.

      I've read some criticism that the opening intros and performances by the Ikettes diminishes the impact of the album. I totally disagree. These opening performances give Ike and the Kings Of Rythm the opportunity to show off what a crack band they are, without being overshadowed by Tina. Ike is a superb guitarist and bandleader - I especially like Socow Richardson's drumming. The Ikette's performances are very good but wouldn't carry a whole album. But this allows you to share with the audience the anticipation of Tina's first appearance on stage, whipping the place into a frenzy. By the time she belts her first line "Do you like good music?", almost ten minutes into the CD, it comes across more as a proclamation than a question.

      From the moment Tina first appears to the end of the CD, the energy level never lets up. All of the songs are covers but so what? Tina reinterprets them and makes each song her own. (Nobody would ever confuse this version of "Proud Mary" with the original by CCR). It might take guts to take on "Respect" after the legendary version cut by Aretha. But Tina doesn't try to redo Aretha's version, she completely makes the song her own, and does so highly successfully.

      The fidelity of this remastered recording is exceptional. The sound is pure and natural, extremely well recorded and mixed. Crank it up and you feel like you're right there at Carnegie Hall.

      If you only own a handful of R&B albums from the early 70s, this has to be one of them.

      5 out of 5 stars Perhaps the greatest live album of all time..........2002-03-05

      It's already been documented. Yes, we know that they had a stormy personal relationship, but often overshadowed by Tina's recent revelations of spousal abuse is the music. Though they had relatively few hits (only 6 Top 40 hits, and 25 R&B hits over a span of 16 years) onstage it was a completely different story. The Ike and Tina Turner Revue was the most explosive touring spectacle. Fronted by Tina, often referred to as the female James Brown and the human bombshell, and backed by Ike, The Ikettes and the Kings of Rhythm, the Revue toured constantly and on April 1, 1971 they found themselves about to make history at Carnegie Hall.

      The disc opens with intros to the band, the Ikettes and Ike himself, yet as one would come to expect, the cd begins to burn up as Tina roars onto the stage. She instantly takes command of the audience with her incendiary vocals and spellbinding gyrations. They burn through covers of Jessie Hill's "Ooh Poo Pah Doo", and the Rolling Stones' "Honky Tonk Woman" a song which Tina did make her own. The show continues on with a remarkable performance of "A Love Like Yours" on which Tina's emotional depth and heartfelt singing (even if not to Ike really in hindsight) truly shine. Yet the ultimate showstopper arrives with the inception of "Proud Mary" their Grammy winning cover of the John Fogerty penned classic. Tina begins the song with her now famous locution that helped Ike and Tina to own this song. "We never, ever do nothin' nice and easy" she proclaims to uproarious approval. "We always do it nice and rough!" Then both Ike and Tina begin to sing the opening to the song just as they said they would, easy at first, then Tina launches into the wild and raunchy part of the song for eleven minutes and forty-two seconds of the finest rock and soul ever to rock Carnegie Hall. To follow is a marvelous blues performance of Don Robey's "I Smell Trouble" and Tina's fine performance convinces you of every word. Ike, not to be left out should be noted for his fine guitar playing. A cover of Sly and the Family Stone's "I Want To Take You Higher" comes across very well on the stage, and perhaps it was startling to Sly as Ike and Tina's version charted "higher" on the charts. The final climax to the show however, is the wildly rauchy, dirty, yet fun rendition of "I've Been Loving You Too Long". Complete with simulated orgasms and stroking of microphones, this song wows the Carnegie Hall audience and you can hear the ovations and approval of the crowd as Ike and Tina live up to their reputation as live performers of the first rate.

      If one can listen to the music without bias, it can be seen that this performance by Ike and Tina Turner is one of the best live albums of all time. Onstage they were at their best, and what you hear is definitely what you get!

      5 out of 5 stars The First Lady Rock singer.......2006-10-31

      This early sue album by Ike & Tina Turner is essentially a greatest hits album. This is probably Ike & Tina's greatest sue album it Contains all their hits from their tenure at sue, and their most notable from that period. On this album are:(1) The dance floor told-you-so anthem "You should'a treated me right" (Pop #89) (One Tina's greatest vocal performances from this period) (2)The Mickey and and Sylvia penned song "It's gonna work out fine" (Pop #14, R&B #2)(Tina gives a stellar throat tearing performance that leaves people thinking Janis Who? the song was also Ike and Tina's biggest 60's hit and their first grammy nomination.)(3)Ike and Tina's debut hit record "A fool in love" (Pop #27, R&B#2) This song was the "blackest record since Ray Charles' "What'd I say" (Billboard 1960) This was the debut record that was so incredibly different. It combined the poppy girl group vibe, with the throat tearing bluesey soul usually associated with male soul singers. Song was considered by many to be the first female performance that embodied the true spirit of Rock and roll. (4) Ike and Tina's third hit "Poor Fool" (pop #34, R&B #4) followed the "A fool in love" vein. Wonderful.
      (5)"I idolize you" (Pop #82 R&B #2) This was a great performance by the duo. Tina blends a nice smooth vocal style with a bluesy growl, again with the girl group feel. Ike follows the girls with a latin beat.
      (6) Tra la la la la (pop #50, R&B #9) A cute sunday stroll song. Tina again shows off a rasping style that was new to the Pop charts (for women)
      (7) "Sleepless" is A blues tune with a great gospel feel. though it did not make the pop or R&B charts it was synonymous with the Duo.
      SOng is performed hair raising emotional force.
      (8) "I'm jealous" was a pop tune that to the surprise of many was a flop (Pop #117). Tina sang smooth and urgent against a well produced girl group pop background. A great track and worthy of a greatest hits collection.
      (8)"Won't you forgive me" the b-side track to the monster hit "It's gonna work out fine", Forgive was not a hit but showed Ike and Tina Singing together harmoniously.Tina holds back and blends wonderfully with her husband.Cute lyrics emotionally charged vocal performances,and a wonderfully dominant violin are the highlights of this track. This has a Mickey and Sylvia feel.
      (9)"The way you love me" the backing track of the debut hit "A fool in love" has a bluesy rock feel. Has an almost Chuck berry/Little Richard feel. Tina demonstrates she can sound kittenish when she wants to. This song was redone beatufully on the duos hit Album "Workin together" (pop album charts #25)The new version is done in a southern soul fashion. The album also contained (Proud Mary [pop #4, R&B#5] Ooh Pooh Pah doo[pop #60 R&B#30] WOrkin together[R&B #50] and Funkier than a mosquita's tweeter)
      Tina was like no other singer out there at the time. She was a black woman. She was not like a complete blues singer like Big Mama Thorton, or a girl group singer like Diana Ross, or Martha Reeves. She was no Jazz singer like Ella Fitzgerald or Sarah Vaughn, and she was not fully gospel charged like Aretha Franklin or Gladys Knight.She was a delightfully distinct mixture of Little Richard,Gladys Knight, Big Mama Thorton, and Diana Ross (listen to letter from Tina) though she out dated many of them. SHe is Tina Turner, Queen of Rock, and this is one of her best albums.

        5 out of 5 stars An Album ahead of it's time.......2005-01-12

        This album is for the most part a musical experiment by the Dynamic duo.Mabe a couple of the songs lost their meanings in their making & arranging, but the few great songs on this album make the album worth buying for any Tina, Gospel and Soul Fan. "Father alone" is really a very interesting track. Ike plays around with disco/funk concepts while still maintaining the origional soul of the gospel hymn. A solo song by Ike, perhaps among his best vocal performances."Walk with me" a solo by Tina is an 11 on a scale of 10. Vocals are top notch and the song is traditional gospel all the way through. A slow blusey feel. The famous "What a Friend we have in Jesus" was a given a pop/R&B/rock treatment and in that process lost the origonal message of the mournful lyrics. Kind of a runaway version. "Nearer the cross" is given a rock and roll treatment, one that gets the listner into a mode of foot tappin and gentle head bangin, a really great interpretation of the gospel standard. "Our lord will make a way somehow" sounds like a passionate R&b ballad. Heartfelt, intense, top notch vocals, highlight this beautiful hymn.One almost has to chocke back the tears."Glory Glory" a testiment to Tina's sanctified Tenesse Child hood rocks the rafters, and conjures up the most vivid images of Baptist Church raucussness. An energetic peice the perfect vehicle for Tinas Rock/soul/blues phrasing & vocal delivery to travell in. The album was way before it's time. Today Gospel is constantly being updated and flirts with pop/funk/hip hop on a regular basis. Ike and Tina did this many decades prior.
        Really there 6 essential tracks on the 10 track album.
        Father alone(Ike),Walk with me(Tina), Glory, Glory (Tina), Take my hand Precious lord (Ike), Nearer the Cross(Tina) Our Lord will make a way(Tina). The other have arrangments that seem not to go with 60% of the album. Sounding out of place.They are mediocore but still good, worth a listen.

        Contains some good vocals by Tina, especially "Glory, Glory" and "Nearer the cross". Ike's vocals sound not so good and the music is arranged in a strange way.Maybe Ike 's addiction to cocaine had something to do with it...
        Recorded at Bolic sound studios in 1973 and now for the first time ever on CD. Thanks EMI !!! Now all their other albums please.

        THIS IS ONE OF THE RECENT REISSUE ALBUM'S FROM IKE & TINA. IT WAS RECORDED IN 1973, DURING THEIR DARKEST HOUR PRIVATELY, BUT AT ONE OF THE DUO'S FUNKIEST MUSIC MOMENTS. THEY HAD JUST RELEASED THEIR LAST HIT TOGETHER, TINA'S LOVING TRIBUTE TO HER GIRLHOOD ROOTS, 'NUTBUSH CITY LIMITS'. THEIR RELATIONSHIP WAS IN RUIN AND TINA HAD ONE FOOT OUT THE DOOR AND THE OTHER LOCKED IN THEIR BOLIC SOUND STUDIO. THERE IS A COUPLE OF TRACKS THAT JUST FEATURE IKE ON VOCALS, BUT I PREFER THE TINA/IKETTE VOICE THICK TUNES. I LOOOOOOVE 'WALK WITH ME' AND 'AMAZING GRACE' I MEAN THEY HAVE SOUL AND FUNK PRAISE. I VISIT TINA'S GIRLHOOD CHURCH IN NUTBUSH EACH YEAR AND I PLAN TO PLAY THIS CD NEXT YEAR AS PART OF OUR 'ANNUAL TINA FAN FEST'. 'WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING ON' AND 'WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS' ARE OTHER STAND OUTS. GET THIS CD TODAY AND ENJOY, CRINGE, WHATEVER BUT IT IS A REISSUE.
