Rock Reflections With Jim Pewter: Interview with Tina Turner (1968)

At the time of this 1968 interview, Tina Turner was still married to Ike and living in Inglewood, California. In this fascinating interview, she talks about her musical beginnings, her musical likes and dislikes and much more.

Great interview! It’s interesting to get her perspective as a young woman. She pretty much stayed the same. She was always a class act. God Bless you Tina

[@miracabral]

This interview is interesting in so many levels wow Tina talking about her perception of how her voice and the band sounds on stage, because she was such an sound perfectionist on her solo career, her last tour in 2009 won many awards regarding sound quality and vocal presence!

2:25 "The Queen of Soul, Tina Turner: "'River Deep - Mountain High'." Wow.

WOW this was so special and unique, hearing such a young Tina Turner being interviewed in 1968 😍😘

[@TSZDM2024]

People try and say Tina speaks with an accent her speaking voice really hasn't changed. She just more raspy here.

20 years later, she’d break world records.

The song "So Fine" @7:15 was not Tina singing it, it was one of the Ikettes! people get confused because it was on Ike & TINA's 1968 album Cussin', Cryin' and Carryin' On, but there were a few tunes by the Ikettes on it! Tina's lead vocal track is "YOU'RE So Fine" from that same album! lol

[@planetthunderstorm]

Tina is actually singing on this version of "So Fine" along with Vanetta Fields or whoever from the Ikette that sang on it. The first humming your is actually Tina very obviously too. THIS version of the song is clearly Tina 😍 th-cam.com/video/mRoBx4P1YFg/w-d-xo.html

Now This Was Fabulous!!! ♥️🔥🎶♥️

[@true1evanique]

I've always thought that Tina's speaking voice would have been perfect for voice overs and narrations.

Nice!!

[@jakephillips4453]

Thye both sound lovely lol!

[@michaelwallacejr.1599]

Thank you!

I hate that Ike was so messy, and said that Tina changed her voice to sound more like "White". She's always talked the same! Great interview, but 1968 was not a good year for Tina...

[@jakephillips4453]

Exactly her voice is the same.

[@kamariatoure42]

She was very black southern woman sounding, but she also had a very extravagant diva in her tone.. very much Alexis Carrington "Dahling"

[@smoothnubian]

Ike was right. She picked up a french/german accent. She really forgot where she came from.

[@mrbrownroyyal]

@@smoothnubian wrong

[@smoothnubian]

@@mrbrownroyyal you are wrong

Tina sounds here so diffrent. I prefer her older speaking voice, which is really beautiful.
