Episode 141 of A History of Rock Music in Five Hundred Songs looks at “River Deep Mountain High'”, and at the career of Ike and Tina Turner.  Click the full post to read liner notes, links to more information, and a transcript of the episode.

Also, this episode was recorded before the sad death of the great Ronnie Spector, whose records are featured a couple of times in this episode, which is partly about her abusive ex-husband. Her life paralleled Tina Turner's quite closely, and if you haven't heard the episode I did about her last year, you can find it at <a href="https://500songs.com/podcast/episode-110-be-my-baby-by-the-ronettes/">https://500songs.com/podcast/episode-110-be-my-baby-by-the-ronettes/</a>. I wish I'd had the opportunity to fit a tribute into this episode too.
