Ike is in a crazy space suit, the Ikettes are looking good, and Tina cranks it up all the way:

The whole show is available on DVD.

Hey, Mark Mitchell dropped the "It's." I could tell this was your post before I even saw the name in my RSS reader. Keep 'em coming! Long live Tina Turner!

Eh. Celine Dion's version was much better. Joking. I'm joking, people.

We had to pull the "It's" from Mark's byline because the apostrophe was fouling up Slog RSS feeds.

I love the polite white audience golf-clap at the end.

Huh. Used to know a "It's" Mark Mitchell in Colorado. But, I suppose, It's a common enough name.

Both versions are fantastic.

It's interesting to watch this on mute and make the correlation between traditional African dance as being the root of this modern interpretation.

Thank you for this. A treat. You are correct, it does not get any better then this.

I like the original version better. Ike made her do this because he was jealous she did well with someone else's song and direction.

Both versions are amazing. Love the Spector version, but love the Ike funk too.
