The Soul of Ike & Tina is a compilation album by R&B duo Ike & Tina Turner. Not to be confused by their 1961 debut album, The Soul of Ike & Tina Turner , this album was released by Kent Records in 1966.
After four years with Sue Records, Ike & Tina Turner signed with Kent Records in 1964. Kent was the follow-up to the bankrupted Modern Records. On the Kent label they released their first live album, Ike & Tina Turner Revue Live, and a few singles.
Ike Turner wrote all of the songs on The Soul of Ike & Tina. The track "Good Bye, So Long" was released as single on the newly revived Modern Records. It reached No. 34 on the Billboard's R&B Singles chart and No. 107 on Bubbling Under The Hot 100. [1] [2] The second single "I Don't Need," also released on Modern, reached No. 134 on Bubbling Under The Hot 100. [3] Tina Turner made a solo appearance on Shindig! to promote the single in August 1965. She also performed the B-side "Gonna Have Fun" on Hollywood A Go-Go the next month. A third single, "I Wish My Dream Would Come True", was released by Kent in 1967.
In 2007, The Soul of Ike & Tina was reissued on CD by P-Vine Records with 13 additional tracks.

Kent Records was a Los Angeles–based record label, launched in 1958 by the Bihari brothers. It was subsidiary of Crown Records Corporation. Kent was a follow-up to Modern Records, which ceased operations in 1958. The label reissued Modern's singles, including recordings by B.B. King. By 1964, Kent had signed acts such as Ike & Tina Turner and released new material. Other acts signed to the label included Z.Z. Hill, Johnny Otis, and Lowell Fulsom. Modern Records was revived in 1964 with successful singles from the Ikettes.
The Ikettes, originally The Artettes, were a trio of female backing vocalists for the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. Despite their origins, the Ikettes became successful artists in their own right. In the 1960s they had hits such as "I'm Blue " and "Peaches 'N' Cream". In 2017, Billboard ranked "I'm Blue " No. 63 on its list of 100 Greatest Girl Group Songs of All Time.
