The Story
The Ikettes were a dynamic female vocal group from the United States known for their contribution to rhythm and blues. Initially assembled as a trio, they served as backing singers for the powerhouse duo Ike & Tina Turner. Their roots trace back to when Ike Turner recruited members of a vocal act called the Artettes, leading to their recording of “A Fool in Love” alongside Tina. As the Ike & Tina Turner Revue evolved, so did the Ikettes, who showcased their talent through energetic performances and memorable harmonies. One standout track in their catalog is “I’m Blue (The Gong Gong Song),” which highlights their signature blend of soul and rhythm.
