Ike & Tina Turner - Nutbush City Limits (1973)

Ike & Tina Turner were an American musical duo active during the 1960s and 1970s, consisting of the husband-and-wife team Ike Turner and Tina Turner. Rolling Stone ranked them No. 2 on their list of the 20 Greatest Duos of All Time.

Beginning in 1960, they performed live as the Ike & Tina Turner Revue, supported by Ike Turner's band the Kings of Rhythm and backing vocalists called the Ikettes. The Ike & Tina Turner Revue was regarded as "one of the most potent live acts on the R&B circuit". Their live performances were a musical spectacle in the style of James Brown and the Famous Flames.

The duo's early recordings, which include "A Fool In Love", "It's Gonna Work Out Fine", and "I Idolize You", became high points in the development of soul music. Their later works are noted for interpretive re-arrangements of rock songs such as "Come Together", "Honky Tonk Woman", and "Proud Mary", the latter of which won them a Grammy Award in 1972. The Turners' professional and personal relationship ended in 1976, and their divorce was finalized in 1978.

Ike & Tina Turner were inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1991. They have two singles inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, "River Deep – Mountain High" and "Proud Mary".

Rest in peace Tina Turner. Strong, smart, independent, and damn sexy. What an incredible human being. Setting a great example of getting away from an abusive relationship and having the courage to go out on her own.
We have lost an icon and Heaven has gained an Angel.

Das waren doch noch Zeiten als man fast in jeder Kneipe in die Musikbox werfen konnte und sich seine Lieblingslieder selbst wählen konnte. Ein Traum 😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉. Von dem Automatenaufsteller hab ich mir dann ab und zu Singles gekauft die er ausgetauscht hat 🎉🎉🎉🎉.
Ein Hoch auf die 60er und 70er ❤

This was the song. Tina always love rock and Ike wanted always wanted soungs like proud Mary. This was the song where she was finally able to do her rock thing. Seeing how happy it made her 1:08 that pure joy of feeling free for even a minute is priceless. Her tormentor is still beside her but she has this minor victory and She’s loving every second of this song!!!
