Ike and Tina Turner’s 60s singles hit intermittently, but their reputation rested on a live show they honed relentlessly touring the chitlin’ circuit. This lo-fi but extraordinarily powerful eight-minute medley – taped in front of a rowdy audience in the mid-60s, released in 1970 – gives you at least a flavour.
The pair weren’t known for their ballads – they dealt largely in high-octane soul – but the mid-tempo title track of their 1970 album is fantastic. Improbably enough, given that the violently abusive Ike wrote it, it’s a plea for universal brotherhood and unity, given a rasping urgency by his wife’s voice.
Ike may have had the longer-standing musical pedigree, but from the moment he hooked up with his wife-to-be, there was little doubting who the star of the show was. On their debut single, it sounds as though the recording equipment can barely cope with the sheer power of Tina’s voice.
Up in Heah’s fuzzed-out rock/southern soul hybrid has a distinct gospel tint to its backing vocals, which fits perfectly. Written by Tina, the song is effectively a more brutal take on Son of a Preacher Man, with the gender roles reversed: the pastor’s daughter’s dalliance ends with her “disowned by my family … the daughter of evil”.
This was picked on Desert Island Discs by Gordon Ramsay and Lord Digby Jones – you can somehow imagine both of them singing The Best to themselves in the mirror, can’t you? – but let’s try to ignore that. Although it may seem an obvious smash hit now, Bonnie Tyler’s original flopped; its ubiquity is down to Tina Turner’s performance.
Her album Break Every Rule was perhaps too transparent an attempt to ape Private Dancer’s success: the same team, more songwriting contributions from Mark Knopfler and David Bowie, another Al Green cover (cut from the final tracklisting). But opener Typical Male is strong, its little-me coquetry undercut by the eye-roll of the chorus’s final line.
The follow-up to Nutbush City Limits was a relative flop, though it should have been as big a hit as its predecessor. The title track powers along on a relentless guitar and electric piano groove. There’s a great of-its-era synth solo, and Tina’s vocal is magnificent: “I’m 34-38 and 22 at the tummy.”
We Don’t Need Another Hero goes all-out for epic – squealing guitars, ambient synths, a children’s choir – but it’s a tough call for a vocalist: the lyrics don’t make much sense divorced from the Mad Max film it soundtracked (“all we want is life beyond Thunderdome!”). Yet Turner’s full-on performance somehow makes it work.
As the 80s turn into the 90s, it takes a degree of searching to dig out the gold on Tina’s professional yet increasingly bland albums. But the epic Whatever You Want – Trevor Horn in the producer’s chair, gradually whipping up a storm of juddering electronics – is worth the effort.
Penned by Tina – and improbably featuring Marc Bolan on guitar during the instrumental Part Two – the humid, horny funk of Sexy Ida is proof that, however horrific their private life, in the studio Ike and Tina could turn it out right until the end of their partnership.
