January 21: Tina Turner

Ike & Tina Turner "I Know / Bold Soul Sister" (1969 Blue Thumb Records)
Dug through my original funk 45's to meet this challenge. This is an absolute banger of a single. A-side "I Know" is a soul-blues number with driving horns and Tina's blistering vocals. But the real gem is the raw funk of the B-side "Bold Soul Sister". Such an amazing track, with a scorching riff and Tina just besting out the lyrics. Hot damn.

John Lennon’s popularity stemmed from his undeniable musical talent, both as a member of The Beatles and in his solo career. His songwriting prowess, marked by poignant lyrics and catchy melodies, resonated with a global audience. Lennon's charismatic personality and distinctive voice made him a magnetic figure, captivating fans worldwide. Beyond music, his advocacy for peace and activism added depth to his public persona, making him an influential cultural icon. Lennon's willingness to embrace experimental and avant-garde music showcased his versatility and creativity. Even after his tragic death in 1980, Lennon's legacy endures as a symbol of artistic innovation, peace, and a lasting impact on the music industry.

One of the best musicians ever from one of the best bands ever. John’s legacy reaches further than words can describe. Spin something today by Lennon, The Beatles, or an adjacent artist that reminds you of him.
