Had to double-check for a "GT" mark somewhere cause I know we have a few serious coffee-shop types in the crew, usually their avatars feature contemplative portraits of bearded black men. Didn't notice anything so on we go.
Ike Turner was part of a group that recorded a song some (dubiously) have referred to as the "first rock & roll recording" - which I suppose is cool. Besides that?
-His version of "Proud Mary" with Tina
-Being able to sing really low
-Being probably as good at guitar as any number of white teenage Guitar Center employees (pretty good)
And yeah, his collaborative relationship with TT helped her become a star, but MADE her a star? That's a bridge too far, Karo (sorry, your name looks way too much like Karo Syrup). Also, remind me again who's going to lavish praise and respect on somebody for exposing the world to Tina Turner?
Oh yeah, that's right. I forgot. He's dead. I take it all back. He invented music, along with Micro Machines and the ciabatta roll.
This thread was mainly meant to be funny. Ike beat up his wife a lot, and beating up your wife is funny. It was also a pre-emptive thing, since he could have spent his entire life raping puppies and preschoolers, and would still get the "omg rip hell be missed" treatment because he died, and he was a "pioneering" musician. Dude was not a "legend". Fucking....John Henry. Is a legend. He beat the steam-hammer machine and then his heart exploded. Paul Bunyan is a legend. He had a giant blue ox. Ike Turner was a mean-looking guy whose name we would NOT. Know. If it weren't for his wife. The End.
