This article contains information about the live performances of the American musical duo Ike & Tina Turner.
As the Ike & Tina Turner Revue, later billed as the Ike & Tina Turner Explosion, they were regarded as one of the most dynamic musical acts, which included the Kings of Rhythm band and backing vocalists/dancers the Ikettes.
In 1954, musician Ike Turner relocated his band the Kings of Rhythm from Clarksdale, Mississippi to St. Louis, Missouri. [1] Turner performed around the greater St. Louis area and built a strong following. [2] In 1956, Ann Bullock joined Turner's band as a vocalist after he heard her sing at Club Manhattan in East St. Louis, Illinois. [3] She was credited as Little Ann on their first recording together in 1958. She was later given the stage name Tina Turner and they released their first song as Ike & Tina Turner in 1960. When the single became a hit, they began performing as the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. They embarked on a grueling series of one-nighters throughout the United States on the Chitlin' Circuit. They relocated to Los Angeles, California in 1962. [4] In 1966, the Turners visited England for the first time to join the Rolling Stones on their British Tour. In 1969, they began headlining in Las Vegas, Nevada. They gained further exposure by performing at music festivals and joining the Rolling Stones for select dates on their American Tour. The revue continued to expand its audience by performing in Africa, Asia, and throughout Europe until they disbanded in 1976.
When Ike Turner moved to East St. Louis, his first gig was at Ned Loves in 1954. [5] Soon after he would become the house band at the Club Manhattan in East St. Louis, Illinois. [6] In the next few years, he would perform at various clubs on different days of the week. These clubs included the Club DeLisa in St. Louis, Missouri, and Kingsbury's in Madison, Illinois. [7]
