Most of her songs with Ike seemed biographical to me. Oddest thing all those songs when it sounded like Tina giving Ike her two cents about the way he treated her was written by Ike so it was like he used their painful relationship as the catalyst for their own recordings. It's kinda twisted. But Tina did deliver some of her greatest performances.
Ive listen to mostly all of tina songs and found this one i think to be one of the best ones she put out. This song has put me in tears just listening to it. I felt all of her hurt and pain that ike had put her through. This is one song she sing the hell out of trying to get throuh ike thick skull...'i sweat my azz of for you and do what ever you want me to do, now you don't want what you got? What more do you want? Tina you did the right thing by leaving his no good azz.
I tried and I tried... Yes I have been weak and made more than my share of mistakes. Giving up was never going to be one of them. However love is the greatest of all and now my love... You got what you wanted and I hope you're happy with what you've got... My love for you knows what you want and its not me... Its you.
I've heard a snip of this song and was tearing my hair out to find the whole track after that. I finally found it and I have to say this is my favorite Ike & Tina song.
@zenikim i can email the mp3 to you if you would like...or if you don't like strangers emailing you things with attachments i can just send you the site where you can download it...go to my channel and send me a message
This song is a powerful piece. only a dymamic voice like Tina's could have done such a job. And to add, she put her soul into it. Its Perfect. Perfect instrumental, backup vocals. Everything. Why this wasn't a number one song?. I have no idea.
@arkansoul Phyllis Hyman was an amazing vocalist and so is Tina Turner. Phyllis' voice was deep, yet smooth and sophisticated. Tina Turner's voice is deep, raspy, and wild. Both were genius in their prime.
I completly agree with some of these comments...It's my Tina favorite...and I really luv the vocals, and the effort u hear her put out!!! It's exciting!!!! luv, with a passion!!♥
oh BABY1LUV you reminded me of something i remember watching THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW WHERE CHER AND TINA WAS ON, CHER SAID THE FIRST TIME SHE SAW TINA SHE WAS PRETTY SOMETHING LIKE THAT... THEN SAID "TINA SAID 'I CAN SING THAT KEY THAT KEY THAT KEY'" (DIFFERENT KEYS) THEN CHER SAID "I CAN ONLY SING THAT KEY" THEN TINA, OPRAH, CHER CRACKED UP. BUT I LOVE TINA TURNER SOOOOOO MUUUUCH!
that part was so funny 2me 2 cuz cher knows her singin abilities only go so far!! and tina is absolutily dynamic she has so much soul she can do watev she wnts...SHE MAKES U LOVE HER EVEN IF U DNT WNT2...TINA TINA TINA! LOL
is so funny that here career began in 1960, the same year that Daisaku Ikeda came to America, Tina didnt start chanting unitl 1974, i find that an interesting coincidence....
there are so many songs i keep finding, like why didnt she release Hot LEgs as a single for herself.....she is truly an amazing woman,...i began chanting when she made her comeback....nam myoho renge kyo, she is very inspiring
the more i keep finding things THE QUEEN has recorded on u tube the more i am astonished at the music she did i missed out on ...thank yuo..nam myoho renge kyo
Thanks so much for posting this! This is my all-time favourite Ike and Tina song and I think probably Tina's best ever vocal performance -- the tension and drama in this song!
Yes, all of those you named are great! My other Pompeii favs include 'So Fine', 'I Betta Get Ta Steppin', 'Cussin, Cryin & Carryin On', 'So Blue' and that raunchy take on 'Shake A Tail Feather'. And let's not even get into Ike's solo album on Pompeii with those wonderfully funky instrumentals. I haven't heard one damned tune on that label that I don't like. Soul masterpieces that deserved more commercial success! The Minit recordings (though not as soulful) are excellent as well.
Yeah, I agree. I need to check out the label. All I know is the Ike & Tina stuff, and it's my favorite era for them. Critically and commercially it was a low point - but I except for the Blue Thumb blues recordings I think it represents the best Ike & Tina chitin' circuit soul and is their best. It's raw, soulful and timeless. I also love "Funky Mule", "Thinkin Black" and all the Ike instrumentals from this period. Deeeeeep dish soul.

She was, still, and will forever be a Soul Sista! And, she still got it, even at her age of 69! I guess you can't take that kind of talent away!

When she sang this song, her voice was so sexy and souful, and strong. And I luv that ungue raspe in her voice as well.

Tina Turner is the only woman in the world who can get by singing bass like a man and still make it sound feminine! I love her! Excellant Vocalist
bdmars84 3 years ago 38
I know....
in one of her interviews she said that se wanted to sound like Ray Charles...and she also stated that she didn't care to sound so feminine.
But, I completly agree with you...she doesn't have a limited voice at all!

Phyllis Hyman could get away with singing like a man, but not quite like Tina.
