About

Remember



Funk, Blues, Rock - Ike was a great musician. I grew up on him. From Ike's site:
Ike's contribution of music is quite extensive. Not only has Ike collaborated with many well known artists in the R & B and Blues industry, Ike also contributed his unique styling in Rock & Roll and Hip Hop as well.

Many do not know that Ike's musical influence and prominence predates the duo that brought his musical talent to the limelight. Starting with Sun records and writing the "First Rock & Roll" song "Rocket 88" Ike had established his musical abilities way back to when Elvis was just a kid.

Ike's music has garnered him a place in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and well as a nomination for a Grammy Award to winning W.C. Handy Awards, "Walk of Fame Star" as well as a" Beal Street Music Note

Memories

He was insane

H Williams Sep 11, 2010

Ike Turner was criminally insane and deserved a painful and agonising death for the way he treated people, most especially his former wife Tina Turner. This man may have been talented, but he was unable to handle the fact that other were more gifted than he. His soul may find peace, but the man known as Ike Turner that once walked this earth deserves nothing but a fleeting disrespectful memory.

My Memory

Audrey Dec 23, 2007

Well, let me say first of all your music was great when you were with Tina. But I dont feel you did her right at all. Tina was there for you when no one else cared,but you treated her like dirt. No one deserves to be beaten by anyone, I wish you were here to read this for yourself. I think Tina Turner is a wounderful and very bright woman. I have loved her from when you and her were together rolling on the river. I am only 33years old. But music is my life. But all and all my God bless your soul.........R.I.P.......
