Ike & Tina Turner were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991. For 30 years prior to that they had given James Brown a run for his money as the most exciting performers in show business. It was Ike who took the singer known as Little Ann and gave her the name Tina Turner. He liked that Tina rhymed with Sheena because “Sheena, Queen of the Jungle” was his favorite TV show. Several of Ike & Tina’s albums are collectible such as “Don’t Play Me Cheap” and “It’s Gonna Work Out Fine.” Released on Sue records in 1963, a copy of either can sell for $400.00 today.
