Ike & Tina Turner “I Can’t Believe What You Say” (Kent 402, 1964)

Sometimes a song is fatally relevant in your life the moment you think of it, and tonight we have one of Ike & Tina’s mid 1960s obscurities helping me make sense of the world.

Despite a lot of promotion (including a feature of the song on Shindig in early 1965) it didn’t break through to becoming the hit Ike & Tina so desperately needed, and left the duo prime for Phil Spector to make a masterpiece offer they couldn’t refuse.
