Ike Turner (1931-2007)



As a young child his father was killed by an angry White mob...

As a young boy was a Radio DJ...

As a young Man helped to found a R&B Revolution...

As a Man discovered one of the greatest Singers of his or any other Era...

For my Mother and Father (who loved both Ike and Tina Turner) and to all the imperfect men everywhere, myself most certainly included.

There has to be some great good in a man who could play music like this.....

"Rivers Deep, Mountains High"



Wherever he is, I'm sure Ike's hustlin' up a crew and a gig right now and, wherever he is, he ain't even sweatin'.

And wherever she is, I'm sure Tina is still going strong.

Truly a blessing. Had the pleasure of being a guest at Radio City music hall, New York City to see Tina do her thang several years back. She was amazing.

Thanks for the tribute.
