Ike Turner - A selection of songs (@256)

Although his name is synonymous to abusive behaviour and drug abuse, his contribution to soul music should not be overlooked. He left us on Dec., 12, 2007. This upload covers both his 50's period with various sessions he made and songs he penned (among which is the famous "Rocket 88", a r'n'r song in the pre-r'n'r era, which was penned by Ike, despite the official author credit that was given to Jackie Brenston), and the Ike & Tina period. "River Deep Mountain High" cannot be found here since Ike was not around at all by the time this masterpiece was being created.
