Recording Academy responds to Ike Turner's death

The Recording Academy® Statement Ike Turner December 12, 2007

"There is no doubt that Ike Turner was one of rock and roll’s great architects with his genre-defying sound as an instrumentalist and bandleader. His innovative musicality helped lay the foundation for rock n’ roll and R&B more than 50 years ago. As a bandleader, his well-rehearsed ensembles were some of the most exciting live groups the world had ever heard. As a two-time GRAMMY® Award winner and recipient of The Recording Academy®’s 2004 Heroes Award, Ike’s legacy as a groundbreaking pioneer in the music industry will never be forgotten."

Neil Portnow
