Ike & Tina Turner "Dynamite" (1962)


Where Ike leads super-tight band, Tina channels Little Richard and The Ikettes provide spirited backing vocals.

It's all great fun and Turners sound as they are on a roll, as they might have been in the first excitement of their success. 

Of course, these recordings sounds very simple and primitive compared to later more sophisticated work, but it must be pointed that Turners never again sounded so happy and enthusiastic. Tina is in the spotlight but there is one song ("Won't you forgive me") where she actually duets with hubby in a interesting attempt to go commercial and cutesy.
