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 in St. Louis 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 on the end of the marriage in 1978, and while Tina Turner became a worldwide superstar, enjoying a chart-topping comeback in 1984 with “What’s Love Got To Do With It?,” 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. Meanwhile, Tina Turner’s profile has remained consistently high since her mid-‘80s rebirth, including a movie role in the third Mad Max installment with Mel Gibson and frequent collaborations with singer Bryan Adams. Her latest album Twenty-Four Seven earned her a thumping, disco-fied hit in “When the Heartache Is Over.”     Ike and Tina Turner Drift Away MP3 R&B You’ve heard umpteen artists take their shots at this soul chestnut -- now listen to it the right way, with Ike and Tina.
