Ike Turner (born November 5, 1931, Clarksdale, Mississippi, USA - died December 12, 2007, San Marcos, California, USA) was an American musician, bandleader, songwriter, arranger, talent scout and record producer. He formed his first group as a teenager in high school called Ike Turner's Kings Of Rhythm. In 1956 he hired two sisters named Anna Mae Bullock and Aillene Bullock. He renamed Anna Mae Bullock as Tina Turner and married her. Together they had their first hit in 1960 with "A Fool In Love".
Ike Turner has frequently been referred to as a great innovator of rock and roll and has left a lasting mark in music history.

As a talent scout and as what would later be commonly referred to as a record producer there is no ques on that Ike Turner was an iconic presence in the early development of R&amp;B in the 1950s. He was in his very early twen es during the me he wrote produced and played guitar on most of the 60 tracks on this 2CD set. He was also working as a bandleader and most of these performances are led by members of his band or in the case of The Kings Of Rhythm the band itself. This excellent double set opens with the hit “Rocket “88”” and right up to the closing instrumental “Trail Blazer” you are treated to nothing but storming R&amp;B and blues.
