Mesh Match For "Proud Mary: The Best Of Ike & Tina Turner" CD by Ike & Tina Turner:


Ike & Tina Turner Artist Snapshot:

While Ike Turner helped lay the foundations of rock & roll and Tina Turner went on to become one of the most successful female singers in pop history, some would argue that the duo made their best music together. Ike & Tina began working together in the early 1960s when Ike discovered the young singer Anna Mae Bullock and transformed her into the smoldering, seemingly unstoppable musical force known as Tina Turner. Their artistic run--which produced soul/R&B/pop classics such as "It's Gonna Work Out Fine," "River Deep Mountain High," and their near earth-moving version of "Proud Mary"--was eclipsed in intensity only by the tumultuous nature of their marriage. Both facets of their partnership came to an end in the mid 1970s.

Title Note

PROUD MARY-THE BEST OF IKE & TINA contains songs from Ike & Tina's stint with the Minit, Liberty and Untied Artists labels.

Personnel includes: Ike Turner (vocals, guitar, bass); Tina Turner (vocals); The Ikettes (background vocals).

Producers include: Ike Turner, Juggy Murray, Mickey & Sylvia, Gerhard Augustin, Claude Williams.

Compilation producer: Ron Furmanek.

Includes liner notes by Al Quaglieri.

Tracks 1-7 are mono. Tracks 8-23 are stereo.

Digitally remastered by Larry Walsh (November 1990, Capitol Recording Studios).

This is part of the EMI Legends Of Rock & Roll series.

With one conspicuous exception, this one disc best-of is the definitive collection of this tempestuous duo's music. That exception, of course, is the cut of "River Deep, Mountain High," which isn't the epochal Phil Spector-produced single, but rather a live version. However, it's perfectly acceptable on its own terms, though purists will lament the lack of Spector's famous Wall Of Sound (what's here is more like a Small Chain Mail Fence Of Sound).

Everything else, however, is first-rate, from smolderingly raunchy early '60s singles like "It's Gonna Work Out Fine" (presented, thankfully, in the original mono), to Tina's autobiographical "Nutbush City Limits" from the early '70s. Essential stuff.
