Tina's "River Deep, Mountain High" I downladed it wondering what the real version sounded like (the only one I heard was part of it from "What's Love Got...."
WHAT a song! Her vocals are chill giving! They were so powerful. I never hear this song on any oldies stations. I heard it was too "white" for black radioand too "black" for white radio. I understand how that couldve been back then, but this is an underrated superb track! TINA! Straight Jacket Funk Affair
Album plays and love for vinyl records. | |

Im sad to say yes! I only heard the FULL REAL version today! I have been hearing the What's Love Got To Do With It clip since the movie firat came out but never going out to buy an Ike & Tina album. I never heard the real "Nutbush" either. I found "Shake A Tailfeather" was better on the movie, and so was "Fool In Love" like Tina re-recorded the song Straight Jacket Funk Affair

Xavier23 said: Celine's Version is absolutely great!!!! u should download both, i highly recommend it One of the best covers ever!!! This is one of my favourite Tina songs. One of the highlights when I saw her a few years ago. Though the original is quite fun; the 'newer' version is absolutely brilliant! A lot fuller in sound. If u don't own any of TINA's albums, w/ Ike or solo..I suggest you get a move on and buy her entire catalogue. | |

I was just thinking about this version the other day. She performed it on David Letterman and it was awesome. (spelling edit) [Edited 3/16/05 23:59pm] | |

about 1 million dollars was spent recording this record and it was a financial and charting failure in the US... but i believe it went to #1 across the UK's playlists and charts.
The surpremes recorded a version in 1969 ( i believe that was the year) | |

My momma played that for me when I was like 10. I remember that day well, my mom hitched up her dress, Tina-style and danced like her. I was cheering her along. Ever since that was OUR song. My momma had something with rivers, it seems. Another one of her songs was Many Rivers To Cross. | |

Tina's vocal + Celine's orchestration of the song =
But yes, Celine's version is actually pretty good. Listen to me on The House of Pop Culture podcast on itunes http://itunes.apple.com/u...d438631917 | |

And don't forget the grat version done by The Four topd and The (Diana Ross-less) Supremes. It's almost as good as the Spector-Turner original #SOCIETYDEFINESU | |
