Check the Chasin the Sky thread as I spoke about him there. Here is a link to a great article that sums up my feelings exactly. Buy the vinyl Blues Roots if you see it. It is GREAT

I just stumbled upon this article from 1971.


Ike Turner, who places “River Deep” up next to “Good Vibrations” as his two favorite records, says the Spector production didn’t get airplay because the soul stations said “too pop” and the white stations said “too R&B.”

Thought this was interesting to mention.

Ike makes sure to mention Brian... although I'm wondering if he means someone different... Possibly it comes from the missing part of the interview (there's a cut just a couple of seconds before)
