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.
Reissues
In 2007, The Soul of Ike & Tina was reissued on CD by P-Vine Records with 13 additional tracks.
