#ike and tina turner revue

Farewell to suave rhythm and blues musician Jimmy Thomas (20 January 1939 – 24 April 2022), who was a featured vocalist in Ike Turner’s Kings of Rhythm and then the early line-up of the Ike and Tina Turner Revue. His death aged 83 was announced this week. Here is Thomas absolutely ripping it up onstage with Tina Turner at Lovall’s Ballroom in Dallas, Texas in 1964 – what a joyous way to remember him! (Thomas is prominently featured on the 1965 album Live! The Ike & Tina Turner Show).
