Turner began playing piano and guitar when he was eight, forming his group, the Kings of Rhythm, as a teenager. He employed the group as his backing band for the rest of his life. His first recording, "Rocket 88", credited to "Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats", in 1951 is considered a contender for "first rock and roll song". Relocating to St. Louis, Missouri, in 1954, he built the Kings into one of the most renowned acts on the local club circuit. There he met singer Anna Mae Bullock, whom he renamed Tina Turner, forming The Ike & Tina Turner Revue, which over the course of the sixties became a soul/rock crossover success.
"Piano's really my instrument ,and that's what they'll see when I get to Tokyo this time. They never saw me play the piano."
"I think you have to advance with the times, you know. With hip-hop and rap and house music, they make loops and do stuff with loops."
"The basic tracks I originally cut on a computer at my house, and then I over-dubbed it live. But I got the feeling I wanted here on the computer."
"Most times, people have some acts that they really like. I mean, I don't have any in particular that I admire. I admire them all, you know."
"I put together one song, Bonnie Raitt put together a song. Ah, what's his name, the other guitar player? Gatemouth Brown! Yeah, he did a side on Joe Louis Walker."
"A lot of people believe that the movie is the true story, that Tina did. I don't wanna debate on Ike & Tina, but I have to say this one thing... That movie was the biggest lie, and even Tina said that it's a lie. And she don't like the movie. But she started put gas on the fire by supporting it."
"When you think of blues, all you think about is crying guitar like B.B. King's guitar. You think about someone crying that their woman's gone. And how bad life is and all that. Why can't it be something happy with the blues? Why can't it have a hip-hop beat to which you can do the dances of today ?"
"I used to write songs so fast like this, like snapping my fingers. Some of them didn't even have a title, for I just did the song."
"I miss riding those fast trains in Japan... 'cause I'd never seen a train that fast in my life."
"They'll probably start working on my movie sometime... They are doing a complete movie of my life story. It will not be based on any negativity. It will be more about my life, from a kid, how I came up and why I came through."
Up close interview with Ike Turner showing his true colors.

The singer credited Buddhism with providing her with the strength to escape her abusive marriage to Ike Turner in 1976, and the chant she embraced became a daily mantra that helped her through difficult times.
