Editorial Reviews

Wax Poetics
"Unarguably at the top of Ike Turner's long list of fine accomplishments; an under-appreciated, undervalued and undeniably funky soul gift."

Product Description
First released in 1969, 'A Black Man's Soul' captured Ike Turner & His Kings of Rhythm at their funkiest. Armed with songs written by Turner, his St. Louis colleague Oliver Sain and more, Ike & His Kings combined R&B with funk, rock and gospel to create an album that shows off the wide spectrum of black music.

This release contains some of the finest and most sought-after examples of Ike Turner's funk artistry, including Grammy-nominated "Thinking Black" and DJ breakbeat jewel "Funky Mule."

1969 was a banner year for Ike & The Kings of Rhythm, as well as for Tina Turner. At the Grammy Awards, "Thinking Black" was nominated in the category of Best R&B Instrumental while Tina made the list of nominees for Best Female R&B Singer.

Included are all tracks from the original 1969 release, plus unreleased bonus tracks that offer a fine meal to any aficionado or an in-depth primer to those just discovering the globally reaching genius, funk, and soul of Ike Turner.

4.0 out of 5 stars Getting Nasty is the bomb track here., December 15, 2005
A Kid's Review
Ike Turner is the Darth Vader of rock and roll. This mostly instrumental album is one of the more funk-focused of Ike's 50-plus year career.
"Getting Nasty" is the bomb - Billy Preston playing piano shortly before going to England to cut "Get Back" with the Beatles. Jurassic 5 has sampled this track. Check Ike out..and Tina is the female voice of true rock and roll.

By Dennis York (Vancouver,WA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I would give this 10 stars if Amazon would let me.
What a tight band Ike had!
Every cut is A-1.
Words can't describe the tightness of Ike's and band's FUNK.
Better than most music foisted on to us today.
Thank You,Ike Turner.
