The single peaked at number 2 on the Hot R&B Sides chart and number 27 on the '' Billboard '' Hot 100 . Turner added a backing girl group he renamed the Ikettes , and along with the Kings of Rhythm they began performing as the Ike & Tina Turner Revue . The success of the single was followed by a string of hits including " I Idolize You , " " Poor Fool , " and " It 's Gon na Work Out Fine " which gave them their second million-seller and their first Grammy nomination . The Revue performed rigorously on the Chitlin ' Circuit and built a reputation as " one of the hottest , most durable , and potentially most explosive of all R&B ensembles . " To assure he always had a record out while on tour , Turner formed multiple labels such as Teena , Prann , Innis , Sony and Sonja Records . He released a handful of records by Ike and Tina , the Ikettes and other groups .

Between 1964 and 1964 the duo scored three Top 40 R&B hits , " You Ca n't Miss Nothing That You Never Had , " " Tell Her I 'm Not Home " and " Good Bye , So Long . " After being impressed by their performance on '' The Big T.N.T. Show '' , Phil Spector sought out the duo to work with on '' River Deep – Mountain High '' . Spector offered to pay Turner $ 20,000 for creative control over the production . The title song was not a success in the States , causing Spector 's retreat from the music industry , but it was a hit in Europe , reaching No. 3 in the UK Singles Chart . Following their success in the UK , Mick Jagger invited them to open for the Rolling Stones during their 1966 British Tour . bringing them to a wider audience outside of soul . Soon they were booking bigger venues , and by 1969 they were headlining in Las Vegas . In 1969 , Ike and the Kings of Rhythm released the album '' A Black Man 's Soul '' on Pompeii Records .
