IKE TURNER - R.I.P



RIP - Ike Turner

Remember This : The man was given credit to have written the Very First rocknroll song ! He was a producer, writer, singer, guitar and piano player before he got into all the bad stuff with drugs and wife beatin' on Tina. That song, Rocket ' 88 was about the Oldsmobile car model named that.

No, I'm not That old to remember that ! But I was on a Sun Studio Tour a few years back, while in Memphis for the Blues Festival Week. And the tour mentioned that as part of their history as a music studio, and some of the others who were around. You know, some guy named Elvis and another, I think his name was friggen' Jerry Lee !
