Ike Turner played no part at all in the writing or recording of River Deep Mountain High. His name is only on the label because Tina sang the vocals and they were a duo at the time.

I'm quite happy to separate the man and his music - and his music was really good IMO.
Will you apply the same logic for Gary Glitter?

Of course, I like neither the man nor the music.

Godfather of the blues. He introduced many of the true LEGENDS of blues music to the Chess family lable, and enabled several greats to be heard by the masses.
All that Tina Turner propagated about their travails and tribulations should have remained as what they are - private affairs of no concern to the public. Divorce was enough, and I wouldn't mind betting she made the bed she lay in - but of course the first to point the finger of "he hit me, that womanbullying svengali", and at a time when she gained only lots more publicity and sales.
Sadly, he was very unreliable about playing his own gigs later on, and yours truly went twice to see him, as scheduled, to find he'd canceled both times. So, when he was booked to play in London earlier this year, I gave it a miss out of mistrust - and fear of wasting money and time.
Bottom line is, that he was indeed a musical genius, and instrumental in starting the careers of many a legend...including Miss Tina (lest anyone forget)

Ah yes, Cliff - who refused to be on TOTP if The Damned were on the same show - while he started out his OWN career as a tough teddy-boy hipswinging sex symbol rock 'n roller.
Christians eh? That Jesus he sings about all the time wouldn't be seen around any SINNERS now, would he? He only saved and forgave the righteous of course.
What a hypocritical TWAT, lisping posing ponce.

I wouldn't wanna "touch him there, yeah"
'Everyone's gone to the moon' wasn't all that, for that other nonce either - even if he did discover Genesis.
Still, if we are going to list all the things that people have done that weren't legal, I don't think that'll leave much when you look at drug-using, boozing, hotelroom-smashing rockers.
I was with a couple of giggly schoolgirls in my class, when one Robert Plant was all kissy with one of them, and telling her all CHIVALROUS like; "if I weren't married, I'd take you home". Wannabe nonce there, Mr hippy Zep Ledder?

Yeah, I bet you never did anything to be ashamed of, but being a nobody there wouldn't be anyone to carve it in your headstone.
I bet I didn't beat the shit out of a woman, ever, no. Or anything like as bad come to think of it.
But hey, that doesn't matter because I'm a nobody whereas everybody heard of Ike Turner. But I think what makes your comments particularly repugnant is the fact that you seem to state Tina Turner asked for it - and of course that she had no talent. I'm not a massive fan of Tina Turner myself, but clearly you're talking horseshit.
Yet again.

You ARE Cliff Richard (as always)
And incidentally, rumours were also very strong that Tina meted out not-a-little of the old ultra violence herself - but was quick to advertise when anything came back her way.
Women beating men is ALSO known as spousal abuse, but men are slower to complain about it. I wonder why.

As always? Oh yeah, I'm just like him. Just like everyone else who finds WIFEBEATING abhorrant I guess.
And the rest of this crap post is just hearsay or simply addition crap that you've literally just made up.
What a f***ing cock you are.
Oh go back to singing your theme song

I bet Sir Clifford doesn't swear for a start. And I have a sneaking suspicion that Simster is not a virgin either and I have an equally bad feeling that he's not a great God botherer either.
Actually, like your reference to Anna Mae Bullock over exaggerating it was a rather stupid thing to say. Ike Turner eventually admitted about how he treated his then wife (not to mention some of the other mothers of his kids) but why worry about facts ?

...oh, and Tina Turner's hearsay wins your vote does it?
