Pianist, guitarist, bandleader, composer, arranger, record producer, talent scout, mentor, studio proprietor, label owner and all round hustler, Ike Turner was a musical powerhouse who helped shape the course of popular music in the twentieth century and beyond. Best known as the creative genius behind the Ike & Tina Turner phenomenon, he enjoyed a lengthy career that kicked off in 1951 with the seminal ''Rocket 88'' and continued until his death in 2007. In this scholarly work, Fred Rothwell examines in detail the rich legacy of the hundreds of recordings Turner left behind, ranging from blues and soul to gospel, rock and funk, while at the same time charting the various twists and turns in his often turbulent personal life.
