Ike Turner Dies at 76


Ike Turner whose role as one of rock's critical architects was overshadowed by his ogrelike image as the man who brutally abused former wife Tina Turner, died Wednesday at his home in suburban San Diego. He was 76.

According to the Rolling Stone quiz that I took earlier today Ike was one of the few rock personalities of that era who Phil Spector did not threaten with a gun.
