The most widely known cover version of the song was by Ike & Tina Turner in 1968. It was the lead track from their 1968 Blue Thumb album entitled Outta Season. The Turners can be seen performing the tune at Madison Square Garden in the concert film of The Rolling Stones' Gimme Shelter. The Turner's version differs from the original greatly. During the live concert, and briefly on the audio, the Turners insert a provocative, seductive conclusion of the song. This is the call and response done by the duo: Ike: You can make me do anything you want me to do Tina: You can make me do anything you want me to do. Ike: And I'll say Tina: And I'll I'll even say anything you want me to say. Ike: Buy you Tina: I'll buy you anything you want me to buy you. Ike: If ya Tina: If you just stay and make..and make love to me

After this dialogue Tina Turner is handling the microphone in a raunchy way. Ike is making suggestive, pornographic slurping noises while playing the guitar. The song ends with Tina having a simulated "orgasm", while yelling "Come on baby, sock it, sock it, sock it to me baby-Oh Oh Ohhhh baby!". Their version peaked at number 23 on the R&B charts and number 68 on the Pop.

Ike & Tina Turner were an American rock & roll and soul duo, made of the husband-and-wife team of Ike Turner and Tina Turner in the 1960s and 1970s. Spanning sixteen years together as a recording group, the duo played among its repertoire, rock & roll, soul, blues and funk. They are known for their wild and entertaining dance shows and especially for their scintillating cover of "Proud Mary", for which they won a Grammy Award. The duo were inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1991.
