If not for Ike & Tina there may never have been Whitney & Bobby...or was that Sid & Nancy? I need time to reflect, sorry.

i could do without sid & nancy. whitney made "i wanna dance with somebody" and bobby made "my prerogative." they and their crackish behavior are both okay in my book.

Ike Turner's Kings of Rhythm playing ROCKET 88 (quite possibly the first rock song ever.)
first recorded at Sam Phillips' recording studio in Memphis, Tennessee, on 3 or 5 March (accounts differ) 1951. The song was put together by Ike Turner and his band in rehearsals at the Riverside Hotel in Clarksdale, Mississippi, and recorded by Turner's Kings of Rhythm..
