Ike Turner - jazzboCR - 19-12-2014
No argument that he was a repellent human being (didn't need that movie to show me that) but in this context, as a musician, song writer, talent scout, band leader, producer--he was wizard. It's easy to forget or turn away from how good he was. How wizard how early is shown in this compilation of early stuff, as reviewed by Ron Weinstock--this 4-CD set is for the dedicated fan or completist: http://inabluemood.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-legendary-ike-turner-kat-sure-could.html Shorter coverage or career coverage comps are available. However this: http://www.allmusic.com/album/that-kat-sure-could-play%21-the-singles-1951-1957-mw0002056280
