Thank you so much Dan for your review and appreciation for the track. As I mention in my other posts, I wanted to give my father a voice although he is no longer here.

Thank you again, Dear and have a blessed week.

Love this track, Twanna. Very soulful with great vocals.

In the 80's I worked with a sax player, Earl Lett, who played with the Ike and Tina Review. We did allot of the funk and soul of the time.

Cheers,
Scott

Hi Twanna..Great,great,great tune!...Wow,talk about a here and now huge sound,it's awesome!....Allen has a superb touch,that guy can really play and his work here is no exception,an excellent solo!.I love those audio excerpts from Ike,it gives the whole piece a profound provenance that so many people who grew up with Ike's music can relate to....It must be very emotional for you to undertake a work of this nature and when I'm listening to it I can hear Ike's musical legacy flowing strong and true....There is undoubtedly thousands upon thousands of fans of his that would dearly love to hear this tune,maybe youtube is the answer,I don't know...what I do know is your an exceptional and very special talent!!

Dave, my many apologies for not getting back to you sooner. There is so much going on and time got away from me.

Your comments touched my heart. You also caught what was my intent in composing this track...to let those who love and appreciate my father's contribution to music he him speak as to what and who he was. To be his voice...to keep him relevant...to keep him alive in the hearts of those who love him for who he was and for those who appreciate his music.

God bless and keep doin' what you do:)

a serious and thoughtful striking song that should make everyone think twice about how venomous fame can be - this is noble and strong.
and once again Allen is supernatural and simpatico.
much, much respect

Thank you MStokes for your heartfelt sentiment. I am very passionate about this song and it is my prayer that it not only brings awareness regarding the "dark side" of fame, but also the truth about who my father really was.

Thank you again and God bless.

Great track. Your daddy would be proud!

Thank you Darkreine. That was my intention when I composed this. I wanted to put bone, blood, and sinew to him. I wanted to be his voice and to show that he was human and not just some entity. I wanted it to be know that he has family and friends who dearly love him. He was not only a father, but a grandfather, brother, cousin...human. My prayer is that one day, the world will get a chance to know who the REAL Ike Turner was and see him for who he really was.

Thank you again, Darkreine and God bless.

Allen, Allen, Allen...what can I say? You are a master with your gift and I am so privileged and blessed to have been able to work with you. My cousin, who is my father's cousin, loves your playing and we are both of the same mind, we wish my father had a chance to hear you play. He would have loved you. Not only as a musician, but as a person too!

Much love and God bless.

It's a shame I don't have that much time time to make music at this point. This track was crushed in just a few hours, so if it sounds unfinished that's why.
