		Ike Turner is certainly one of the most dehumanized figures in rock history.

		As Ike and Tina became one of the hardest-working, most popular acts on the so-called chitlin circuit, they recorded for a number of independent labels over the next few years; however, since Turner's original material was increasingly standard-issue, their chart fortunes declined somewhat.

	Ike Turner - PopMatters Concert Review
		Garlanded by the cheers of a loud, appreciative audience, Ike Turner took his place behind the keyboard and immediately began pounding out the same irresistible boogie-woogie that Pinetop Perkins taught him years ago.
