Ike & Tina Turner and the Ikettes perform 'A Fool in Love' on "Hollywood A-Go Go" in 1965. Once again, sorry about the "FOR RESEARCH ONLY" thing...I'd remove it if I could. But I hope you enjoy it all the same!
When Angela Bassett performed this song on what's love got to do with it I swear she was hitting the Tina Turner moves so perfect that's my favorite part of the movie
Me too I love her she also plays Athena I'm the 9-1-1 show you should check it out if ur a Angela basset fan there is also Jennifer love Hewitt check it out but thanks for pointing that out 😂❤❤❤
If you check out Mahalia Jackson, she sings gospel but her voice is powerful and she taught Aretha Franklin to sing... She was asked to go mainstream but she turned them down.
@@Dulcess It's interesting that you mentioned Mahalia Jackson and gospel because hearing and watching Tina made me realize her voice was given to Glorify The Most High... The world offered her a much cheaper offer though.
May she rest in eternal peace. There will never be another like her. She had it all; grit, beauty, brains and TALENT. None of these new female “singers” today have talent and none of them will ever be able to say they have 50 years in the business.
the hairs in my body stand strait up when I watch this & my eyes well up in tears because I'm so moved by her belting out that song. Angela Bassett did her justice in the movies portrayal of this song in "What's Love Got to Do With It" but my God, nobody does it like Queen 👑 Tina 🙌💯🔥....holy 💩👑🙌 #💞💞💞💞💋
Samantha, I have the exact body reaction whenever I hear a really special song. This has happened my whole 50+ years on this Earth, I thought I was the only person that this happened to, good to know I’m not!😎👍🏻
Yes, I played this record to death until it melted, through the scratches whatever on my record player as a teenager. I took my allowance and bought another one.😂 Love me some Tina Turner!♥️
Tina & the Ikettes had amazing chemistry with each other. No cattiness & jealousy toward Tina. Just professionalism & comrade with each other. In another video, Ann (as Ike & the rest of the band called her) and the Ikettes helped each other with the choreography, while getting ready for a show. BTW… it’s great to see Miss Robbie from Welcome to Sweeties Pies, back on the day as an Ikette. Ann and her Ikettes performed as one.
I remember seeing Mick Jagger being interviewed and he described an occassion when Tina gave the Stones a personal, impromtu performance of River Deep, Mountain High. Mick seemed awestruck describing this as the most magnificent performance he had ever seen from anyone, anywhere. Looking at some of these old clips of Tina it is easy to see where Mick was coming from.
I saw the Tina Turner Revue in the early 80s in a small club in Santa Cruz, CA, the Catalyst, capacity 900. She had a band and 3 backup singers. They danced the whole time, much like this video. She was phenomenal. One of the best stage shows I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of the greats. She was a wonderful entertainer, very personable, good audience rapport, and gave her all in singing and dancing. Never a dull moment!
I once drove over the Mountains in Utah , to the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City, , in a blizzard, to see Ike and Tina - Live. Was really harrowing on the trip home. HAVE NEVER REGRETTED THAT TRIP OF A LIFETIME>
Just love the way she moves and her vocals just tearing through the song. The rhythm is completely infectious, you can't help but move! Love the raw feel and energy of this video. Love you Tina! ❤️ RIP

Very true Howard! I was privledged to attend her final concert in Britain ``at (the old) Wembley Stadium on Sunday 16th July 2000. She arrived on stage and asked "Is everybody here?" We all yelled "Yes!" and she went straight into "A Fool In Love", (which was released the year I was born - 1961.) No-one can "totter" about a stage wearing stilettoes and pull it off as well as Tina - and she could still belt out A Fool in Love and her "Hey hey hey hey hey"" gave me goosebumps - still does!! What a wonderful woman!!!
Don't figure out my age, but I remember hearing Ike and Tina Turner performing this on American Bandstand back around 1961 or 1962. God go with you during this challenging time.
This was AWESOME!!!! Fav part of this rare live performance was around 2:12 where Tina breaks it on down and pops it to the camera. Her moves were simply electrifying!!!!! And the Ikettes gave great backing vocals throughout.
OMG. When accolades are given out for Best Rock Song Performance Ever . . . this has to be ranked amongst the very top. Unbelievable, and so early in the rock era. I think she was giving lessons to her students who would follow and emulate.
Let's not forget those dames in early movies, tied to the railroad by dastardly villains with the 2:19 heading their way and the good guys in the white hats galloping to the rescue.
Take THAT Ike turner . No one will ever compare to her..she can't be matched ❤. Thank you Ike Turner for bringing us Lil Anna Mae and her becoming TINA TURNER ❤. Truly 1 of a kind...there will NEVER be another. 🎶 Tina is up in heaven with the other greats... Janis Joplin, Prince 💜, Patsy Kline,Elvis,Michael Jackson,Freddie Mercury...so many other amazing artists. I bet it's one big musical party & Tina was welcomed with open arms. ❤
Caramel Kitty I just watched a documentary about background singers and one guy said Ike thought he was a pimp and that Tina and the Ikettes were his hoes. A horrible man!
Caramel Kitty I SAW THAT CRAP AND THOSE PEOPLE WERE VERY MUCH IN DENIAL!!, ONE IDIOT EVEN SAID, I SAW TINA WITH SWOLLEN EYES AND A BUSTED LIP, BUT I NEVER SAW IKE HIT HER, I CHANGED THE DAMN CHANNEL IT PISSED ME OFF SO BAD
I never thought she had a pretty voice, but when she sings like she does in this song it gives me chills and I love it. Does this make sense to anyone else?? I could listen to this clip a hundred times and not get tired of it. AND the Ikettes and go go dancers are the icing on the cake!
Maturity takes time. Same as a baby eating and spitting it out. Over time it becomes familiar. As well as seasoned. Maybe life gave you an experience to relate, and then you comprehend the depths of her soul, her sound😇🙏
During the mid / late 60's , I had the privilege of seeing the two most powerful , energetic performers ever.....Tina Turner and James Brown! No entertainers in history could match them for raw energy....RIP James....Love you Tina...Simply the BEST!
Holy Mother Mercy! Live Action CAN NOT Get BETTER THIS! SING IT TINA!! WE LOVE YOU FOREVER! YOU ARE THE Queen of Rock 'n' Roll! LONG LIVE THE QUEEN! RIP 11/26/1939- 5/24/ 2023
That woman know she SANG this song!!! She sangs HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY like I've never heard!! She's still amazing & I'm gonna bop 2 her songs 4 the rest of my LIFE!!!
@ Pamela George • Absolutely that was her thought. I mean she was like🤔 F- Ike I got me some white folks dancing 💃🏾 🕺🏽 to my Sanging. If I’m not mistaken opera said her grandma told her if you wanna be famous have you some good white folks on your side.
Wow . That’s one I havnt seen before I have seen other video versions of this one but not this . Her voice is just wow . Back then . Unheard of . She’s amazing . One strong woman .
Tina you're my life and mine blood that flows inside mine veins. Tina i love you. Tina your the QUEEN OF ROCK AND ROLL AND POP AND HEAVY METAL AND EVERYTHING.
The best. Powerful woman. Fire personified and certified. Lost a part of my heart when I heard the sad news. A million kisses to the heavens above with all our love ❤❤❤❤
I didnt know Tina was as talented as she was. Now I cant stop listening to her and ike's songs. If I couldve only experienced love in my younger days. It may be to late for me but the younger generation I think would appreciate their songs.
I still have my 45 RPM records of this song as well as "Poor Fool" - both are performed quite slower - with a definite R & B sound - which I think is even more effective than this speeded up version. RIP to one of my all time favorite singer/songwriters.

YEZZZZZZ MS. TINA TEE!!! When I was a teen, I saw her sing this song at her very first appearance at NYC's Apollo Theatre (where legends were made) and I was hooked. We even created a cheerleader routine, changed up the words tho, based on this song. Hey yay yay e yaya yaya!!!
One of the best documentaries got me here if u haven't seen it i highly suggest it it should be nominated for an award nowadays with streaming u can't tell if its up for an emmy or a Oscar
