It's unfortunate that Ike's bad temper and abuse of Tina is what he'll be remembered for, because he was an immensely talented musician and a pivotal figure in the R & B / blues / rock 'n' roll scene around Memphis in the early 50s. Ike worked as a DJ, talent scount for Sam Phillips, and led his own bands as well as sitting in on sessions at Sun. He was a stunning guitar player with a distinctive style that Billy Miller of "Kicks" magazine described as "outer space guitar whangs". Ike was a pretty good piano player too, I believe he's playing piano on Jackie Brentson's "Rocket 88" that some (not me) call the first rock 'n' roll record. There are a couple of good compilations available of Ike's killer early stuff with his band The Kings of Rhythm.
