Tina Turner Career
With the release of “A Fool in Love” in July 1960, credited to the duo Ike & Tina Turner, Tina’s musical career was formally launched. With a peak of No. 2 on the Hot R&B Sides chart and No. 27 on the Billboard Hot 100, it became a smash. The 1961 single “It’s Gonna Work Out Fine,” which Ike and Tina co-wrote, was nominated for a Grammy for Best Rock and Roll Performance. They also had notable releases of “I Idolize You,” “Poor Fool,” and “Tra La La” between 1960 and 1962. Ike, who served as the band’s leader, put together the group known as the Ike & Tina Turner Revue by combining the Kings of Rhythm and the Ikettes, a girl group.
The song “Too Many Ties That Bind/We Need an Understanding” (1964), which was released by Ike’s label Sonja Records, was Tina’s first credited single as a solo artist. The duo would sign with more than ten labels after their contract with Sue Records expired, including Kent, Cenco, Tangerine, Pompeii, A&M, and Minit. In 1964, they signed a contract with Loma Records, a Warner Bros. subsidiary.
Producer Phil Spector invited them to take part in the concert movie “The Big T.N.T. Show” (1966), which was their big break. They captured Spector’s attention to the point where he proposed a collaboration. The song “River Deep – Mountain High” was thus released in 1966 on Spector’s label, Philles.
Their 1971 cover of “Proud Mary,” which won a Grammy for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group, was one of many hit singles they released as they continued to experience widespread success. Several of their albums, including “Tina Turns the Country On!” and “The Gospel According to Ike & Tina” (1974), were nominated for Grammys. Tina started a solo career after her marriage and their working arrangement broke down in the late 1970s, and she eventually filed for divorce in 1978.
Both Tina’s debut and follow-up solo albums had poor sales. However, she made a significant comeback in 1984 with the release of the song “What’s Love Got to Do With It?” Her lone No. 1 hit single on a Billboard chart is still in circulation.
