Ike & Tina Turner 'I Wanna Take You Higher' 1970

so amazing Tina Turner in 1970🎷🥁🎸🎹🎤☮️

Before and during the Little League baseball season of 1969, my fifth, I did the 'paperboy of The La Habra Star's free midweek REVIEW. Sounds like, Revue.

Such an amazingly beautiful soul.

That camera work tho.

Duck Dunn: "We had a band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline."

I do not think this is Bonnie Bramlett here.

Exact date?

Love it!

Pure pleasure. No auto tune, lip synching or any of that; just the real deal, raw, vital and alive. Had to watch this after the really tasteless "rude" '22 Grammys 😒...

Yes that’s Bonnie

The first time I seen a white Ikette, though apparently not Bonnie Bramlett.

MYSTERY SOLVED: I believe I just solved the case of the unknown Ikette in the middle. Her name is Jane Canada. I googled the Ikettes and looked for pics. The picture of this lady was in the line up of other well known Ikettes with that name beneath it. Same face. Same light-skin. Same hair/wig. Same look! Same everything. Background says she's a Northern Soul singer. So I declare this set of IKETTES to be (L to R) Jean Brown, Jane Canada, and Esther Jones.

All on that little ass stage

Not bonnie. Anyway white girl cant dance. Lol

WOW!

kukikom court en them

Bonnie ...smh

Kathi McDonald & Claudia Linnear recorded this track along with come together LP; they did some dates in Vegas as Ikettes before Joining Leon Russel's Shelter People. this is NOT Bonnie or Kathi in this clip

Robbie Montgomery or Bonnie?

This performance is in 1970. At that time, Ike and Tina were working Las Vegas and was going through a "temporary" set of replacement Ikettes and auditioning new girls. There was a girl named Lorraine (Ike never allowed last names to be known) who used to dance/work with Joe Tex being TRAINED to be an Ikette. She was AWKWARD in comparison, but Ike kept her any way. After a weeks training....she was ready. Esther returned from her illness, along with Jean (the best of the subs). This is who I believe this middle Ikette is. And I believe she lasted until Vera Hamilton joined the Ikettes!!!

The mystery Ikette is definitely not Bonnie Bramlett, she was much earlier like 1963-64. It's not that reporter that was mentioned either, that was in 1971 or 72 and she was a reporter for Esquire magazine doing a story on Ike and Tina. She only ever did one gig as an Ikette and that was at a smaller local club in LA. She definitely was not skilled enough to appear on TV with Ike and Tina. I know a lot about the Ike and Tina Turner Revue but I'm not sure who this Ikette is? I wish someone could confirm who she is. I'm also not convinced she's white, I think this mystery Ikette is a lighter skinned black woman.

Bonnie Bramlett was an on-again/off-again Ikette from 1963 to 1966. "I Want To Take You Higher" was released in 1970. Also, B-Bramlett was a blonde -- but then they ALL wore wigs during the Ike/Tina/Ikettes era. Also, I believe I read in Tina's first auto-bio, "I, Tina," that (when the $$$ was good), Ike would have in his employ as many as NINE Ikettes; 3 touring with Ike & Tina in concerts and TV appearances, 3 touring or performing on TV promoting their own hits, and 3 in the studios laying down back-up vocals for when Ike & Tina came off the road.

I don't think Bonnie is in this clip. The girl who could be her, just isn't her!

Such little space to work with, but TT has always been a professional.

ike was a piece of shit.

Not Bonnie Bramlett. Kinda hard to keep your eyes off Tina anyway.....

Thats not Bonnie lol

Bonnie Bramlett, of Delany & Bonnie (associated with Derek and the Dominoes also) was an Ikette for a brief time.

Not Bonnie Bramlett. She was in the Ikettes before this time....

If that's Bonnie, this must have been before 1970; I thought she only worked with them in the '60s.  Notice the black and white film

The Ikettes in this line-up....
-Jean Brown
-Esther Jones (R.I.P)
-Bonnie Bramlett.(The only white Ikette). Ike use to put body tan on her body to make her look more ethnic like a light-skinned women. Not that he had something against Bonnie but he did this because when the Revue would tour in the south white people will harass them for being an all black band with a white member. For the most part I think they pulled it off because she blended in well. :)

Who was the Ikette in the middle?
