Recording and release
editBy 1971, Ike & Tina Turner had incorporated rock songs into their repertoire and mainly performed covers of recent hits. They performed songs by the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, while still remaining true to their R&B and soul roots with covers like "Respect" by Otis Redding and "I Want To Take You Higher" by Sly and the Family Stone. In January 1971, Liberty Records released the single "Proud Mary" from the album Workin' Together to coincide with Ike & Tina Turner's French tour. The tour included dates at the Olympia in Paris.[1] The concert on January 30, 1971 was recorded and released as a double album in Europe later that year.[2] The album was arranged by Ike Turner and produced by Eddie Adamis. It peaked at number 25 in Germany.[3]
