This article contains information about albums and singles released by of American musician and bandleader Ike Turner.

Overview

In March 1951, Ike Turner and his band the Kings of Rhythm entered Sam Phillips' Memphis Recording Service, where they recorded several songs including the No. 1 R&B hit often regarded as the first rock 'n' roll record, "Rocket 88," featuring Jackie Brenston on vocals with the band credited as the Delta Cats. The recordings were licensed to Chess Records.[1]

As an A&R man in the early 1950s, Turner arranged for other artists, such as Howlin' Wolf, Elmore James, Roscoe Gordon, Bobby "Blue" Bland, Little Junior Parker and Little Milton, to record for Sun Records, Modern Records, and Modern's subsidiaries, including RPM Records.[2]

As a session musician Turner contributed to many seminal blues records, including B.B. King's first two No. 1 singles "3 O'Clock Blues" and "You Know I Love You."[3] Turner is featured on "Double Trouble" by Otis Rush and Albert King's first hit record, "Don't Throw Your Love on Me So Strong."[4]

By 1954, Turner had made the transition from pianist to guitarist. He took his Kings of Rhythm to Cincinnati in 1956 to record for Federal Records.[5] In 1959, Turner released two singles on Stevens Records under the anagram "Icky Renrut" because he was still under contract with Sun for several more months, and he didn't want to cause friction with Phillips.[5]

After Turner formed the Ike & Tina Turner Revue in 1960, he created various labels such as Sputnik, Teena, Prann, Innis, Sony and Sonja Records to release singles he wrote and/or produced for other artists. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Turner released albums and singles on Pompeii Records and United Artists.[2]

After decades of absence, Turner released the critically claimed albums Here and Now (2001) and Risin' with the Blues (2006), the latter winning a Grammy award for Best Traditional Blues Album.[6]
