“River Deep, Mountain High” by Ike and Tina Turner. That’s a little misleading though; legend has it that Phil Spector didn’t even allow Ike in the studio.

Perhaps, a little drama makes for a great record.

As always, let’s hear it once again for the Wrecking Crew then, click pause on the music player located in the side bar to your left before playing the YouTube.

Oh yeah, besides Ike, Phil and the Wrecking Crew you have the legendary Tina Turner. Tina said

“I must have sung that 500,000 times,” Tina later said. “I was drenched with sweat. I had to take my shirt off and stand there in my bra to sing.”

Probably a good thing Ike wasn’t around.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
