The guy was an important part of rock music history. Helped bridge r&b & early rock.
Having said all that, the guy was an abusive jerk. (yeah, that Tina movie was great)

RIP Ike! I have always felt that Ike's reputation was shafted by that movie. He was a hard man that grew up in a hard time and he made his.....and Tina's....dreams come true despite the odds. Women only want to hear one side of the story and make their judgements......even though Tina's story was egocentric and self-serving. If you ask me, she was the manipulitive user in that relationship. She will show up to to prove she is a big enough person to forgive. Still using the man now that he's gone!!

Ah, the lord giveth (Alex Trebek a minor heart attack), the lord taketh away (Ike Turner)... That works for me.
Such as everyone has already mentioned; he certainly contributed a great amount of musical talent to the world but his abusive nature flushed his career down the toilet (sorry, still have that glittery poop story in my head). Thankfully Tina is the strong gal she is to fight back and leave.

I'm sure Tina Turner and any children they had together would be relieved to hear this. Although he was an extremely talented musician in his own right, his abuse towards his family largely overshadowed this towards the public eye.

I would say that the world lost another pioneer of rock 'n' roll. Sadly, his music is largely forgotten because all people want to remember is his abuse of Tina Turner.

He was a nasty guy, but he was also very talented, even though he was overshadowed by his wife. He co-wrote and played guitar on what many consider the first ever "rock and roll" song, Jackie Breston's "Rocket 88". He was quite a wildman on guitar, playing with tremolo bars and distortion even before Hendrix.

I can feel his pain after recording the first rock album ever, only to dive into a world of drugs and abuse, finally get it back together, and win a grammy the last year of your life...what a ride! RIP

He had an awesome wife although he beat her. He put out some good music and I enjoyed some of his music. Lived longer than I thought he would.
