Rock 'n' Roll Pioneer Ike Turner Dies at 76
Contributions to Music Were Often Overshadowed By Claims of Abuse


SAN DIEGO (Dec. 12) - Ike Turner, whose role as one of rock's critical architects was overshadowed by his ogrelike image as the man who brutally abused former wife Tina Turner, died Wednesday at his home in suburban San Diego. He was 76.

Turner died at his San Marcos home, Scott M. Hanover of Thrill Entertainment Group, which managed Turner's career, told The Associated Press.

I never liked him due to how HORRIBLY he treated TINA. I don't condon the pyhsical abuse of women, ans as a result I could never appreciate this man's talent.
