IKE TURNER , A ROCK AND ROLL LEGEND

Ike Turner 76, passed away at his home in San Marcos, California. He and ex-wife Tina were on top in the 50's and 60's.

My sister was a member of the Ikettes when they were an opening act for the 1969 Rolling Stones Tour in Europe. Ike had an ear for music. He was a great musician.

There were only three times that I have heard "The Sound". James Brown, Etta James, and Ike Turner. They had the greatest bands. They didn't even have to sing, their bands were so great.
