Overview
In March 1951, Ike Turner and his band the Kings of Rhythm entered Sam Phillips' Memphis Recording Service, where they recorded several songs including the No. 1 R&B hit often regarded as the first rock 'n' roll record, "Rocket 88," featuring Jackie Brenston on vocals with the band credited as the Delta Cats. In the early 1950s, Turner arranged for other artists, including Howlin' Wolf, Elmore James, and Little Milton, to record for Chess, Sun, Modern, RPM and other labels.[1]
As a session musician Turner contributed on many seminal blues records, including B.B. King's first two No.1 singles "3 O'Clock Blues" and "You Know I Love You."[2] He is is featured on "Double Trouble" by Otis Rush and Albert King's first hit record "Don't Throw Your Love on Me So Strong."[3]
In the 1960s, Turner formed various labels such as Teena, Prann, Innis, Sony and Sonja Records to release singles he wrote and/or produced for other artist. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Turner released albums and singles on Pompeii Records and United Artists.[1]
After decades of absence, Turner released the critically claimed albums Here and Now and Risin' With The Blues, the latter winning a Grammy award for Best Traditional Blues Album.[4]
