As I've already written,
Ike controlled every aspect of his show. Every
note played, every dance step, everyone's stage clothing, lighting
effects - everything was Ike's idea. Everything
was done exactly the way Ike wanted it, down to Tina's
facial expressions, hand movements, the precise way the girls
moved, threw their hair
around - everything.
Here is a video of one
show during their 1971 European tour. I didn't go
on that tour, although Ike argued with me about it, and
offered me a small fortune. I mentioned earlier
that I was working at STAX in Memphis, and wouldn't
leave. I would have enjoyed going, but I was
committed to STAX.
As you watch this
video, keep in mind that one man designed everything
you're about to see. One man - Ike.
