This is the 1966 original version that Tina Turner recorded with Phil Spector. Ike was not at all involved in this recording, despite his name being credited. That was the deal Phil made with Ike on the condition he stayed away. Phil wanted Tina to sing naturally, not screaming the way Ike wanted her to do on their recordings. My video includes photos from 1966 right through to present times, showing the popularity Tina endured over the years. Hope you enjoy it. Tina later re-recorded the song with Ike Turner for their 1973 album "Nutbush City Limits" (that particular version is arguably inferior).
