Who is looking for a single CD with the most important recordings of Ike & Tina Turner, who is still with: best served "Proud Mary The Best of Ike & Tina Turner". Unlike the unübersichtich many other "Best of" - and "Greatest Hits" compilations you really get here the most important single hits of the duo - including informative liner notes, references and chart positions. The CD takes into account the two main stages in the career of Ike & Tina - the start time at Sue Records 1960-62 (tracks 1 - 7) and the time of their great international hits for Liberty / United Artists in 1969 (from track 8). In order to obtain a coherent and representative picture. The only drawback is that instead of Phil Spector-version of "River Deep - Mountain High", the missing probably for licensing reasons, the later (rockier) version from the LP "Nutbush City Limits" was used. Nevertheless, "Proud Mary" is still the most successful compilation of Ike & Tina in the market. Who takes pleasure will certainly want to buy one or two more CD to deepen soon.
