Performer Notes

These sessions, recorded in 1966, were produced by Phil Spector. Spector's production chops and Tina Turner's voice were a match made in heaven. Turner possesses one of the strongest voices ever committed to wax; Spector envelops it in the grandest version of his Wall of Sound that he ever conceived. Besides the title track, Spector cut Ike & Tina redoing their first three chart hits, "A Fool in Love," "I Idolize You," and "It's Gonna Work Out Fine." Although it's a sacrilege to say so, these versions are better than the originals. Finally, Ike & Tina's performance of the obscure Holland-Dozier-Holland ditty "A Love Like Yours" is another phenomenal highlight. ~ Rob Bowman

Professional Reviews

Q (p.121) - "A still-astonishing amalgam of pop and soul masterminded by Phil Spector..."

Record Collector (magazine) (p.99) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Phil Spector called it his greatest work....RIVER DEEP MOUNTAIN HIGH is quite something, with Turner's raucous, husky holler the perfect counterpart to Spector's Wall Of Sound."
