He’d also be remembered for his ‘50s stint as a session man at Sun Records, where he added keys and guitar to classic sides by Howlin’ Wolf and Otis Rush. However, it was a backup singer that Ike met while touring with his Kings of Rhythm that brought him his greatest fame -- and infamy. Annie Mae Bullock became Ike’s wife; she also became Tina Turner, and she and Ike enjoyed a string of R&B hits in the ‘60s and ‘70s, including a smash 1971 cover of Creedence Clearwater revival’s “Proud Mary.” But drugs and personal conflicts brought an end to the marriage in 1978, and while Tina Turner became a worldwide superstar, Ike returned to a more low-key existence. However, he’s stayed busy, touring with his new wife and appearing on more than 60 albums. And he and Tina were reunited -- if only for a night -- in 1991, when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. After years of being portrayed as the heavy in his breakup with Tina, Ike also wrote his autobiography, Takin’ Back My Name, in 1999.     Ike Turner Can't Win 'Em All MP3 Blues One of music’s most colorful antiheroes strikes again, setting the story of Ike to a tune you can’t help but like.
