RIVER DEEP, MOUNTAIN HIGH
When I was a little girl
I had a rag doll
Only doll I’ve ever owned
Now I love you just the way I loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown
And it gets stronger, in every way
And it gets deeper, let me say
And it gets higher, day by day
And do I love you my oh my
Yeah river deep mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
When you were a young boy
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well I’m gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No I’ll never let you down
Cause it grows stronger, like a river flows
And it gets bigger baby, and heaven knows
And it gets sweeter baby, as it grows
And do I love you my oh my
Yeh river deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
I love you baby like a flower loves the spring
And I love you baby just like Tina loves to sing
And I love you baby like a school boy loves his pet
And I love you baby, river deep mountain high
Oh yeah you’ve gotta believe me
River deep, mountain high
Do I love you my oh my, oh baby
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby…

Tænker: Er der egentlig ikke masser af anledning og materiale til en egentlig Phil Spector Top 10?
Tjek lige hans wiki-side ud. To forskellige billeder med guitaren skiftevis i venstre og højre hånd.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ike_Turner
Den indeholder også følgende citat – “Sure, I’ve slapped Tina… There have been times when I punched her to the ground without thinking. But I have never beat her.”
Havde ikke lagt mærke til den omvendte guitar, Mølleren. På alle de billeder som umiddelbart dukker op på Google spiller han guitar højrehåndet. Kan videoklippet mon være spejlvendt, nej vel?
Den hustrumishandling påstod Ike hårdnakket var lodret løgn, myteskabelse og karriereopbygning fra Tina’s kalkulerende side. Man skal ikke skue hunden på hårene, men hvis man skulle, ser han godtnok temmelig frygtindgydende ud…
Sig mig var Ike egentlig højre eller venstrehåndet eller kunne han virkelig praktisere begge dele ?? Her er han højrehåndet, men i videoen er venstrehåndet.
I øvrigt er jeg enig i din analyse af Tinas forvaltning af sit talent. Men hvis blot en flig er korrekt af den hustrumishandling, som hun blev udsat for, så har jeg dog stor respekt for, at hun kom tilbage….
