Ike & Tina Turner/Ikettes - River Deep Mountain High (1970)Live on Soul To Soul Africa tour 1970. This is one of the most amazing bits of footage of all-time. I have cleaner footage than this but it's already there!
"River Deep - Mountain High" is a 1966 single by Ike & Tina Turner. Considered by producer Phil Spector to be his best work, "River Deep - Mountain High" was commercially unsuccessful upon its original release in the United States, but was a huge hit in Europe, peaking at #3 in the United Kingdom. It was re-released in 1969, and has since become one of Tina Turner's signature songs.
The single was among the first recordings that Ike & Tina Turner did for Phil Spector's Philles Records. Spector was well aware of Ike Turner's controlling attitude in the studio, and resultantly drew up an unusual contract: the River Deep - Mountain High album and single would be credited to "Ike & Tina Turner", but Ike was not to be allowed in the studio, and only Tina Turner's vocals would be used on record.
