Too bad it isn't twice as long!

Tina handles the tune with confidence, and her in-your-face delivery ensures that you can finally make out the song's lyrics. Ike pretty much stays in the background, except for a wah-wah guitar solo that's half Haight-Ashbury and half Mississippi Delta. The whole thing smokes, but you can't help wishing that they'd let the tape run and just kept jamming; clocking in at under three minutes, the tune barely has time to achieve lift-off. You know they rocked it live, though!       Dan Epstein     Dan Epstein is a Los Angeles-based journalist and pop-culture historian whose work has appeared in L.A.

Turner's voice rocks! I recommend it to anyone who digs "true" soulmusic. Clint With a voice likr Tina's you don't need much else to creat e a great song, or in this case, improve on an already hit single. Sure the music and guitar is great, but it's her that makes this version of "I want to take you higher" so unbelievable. Kerry Villamil
