It's Gonna Work Out Fine
"It's Gonna Work Out Fine" is a song made famous by Ike & Tina Turner in 1961 as a single issued on the Sue label. It was also included on their 1962 album Dynamite!. The record is noted for being their first Grammy nominated song and their second million-selling single after "A Fool in Love".
Composer credits, on the Ike and Tina Turner single, are given to Joe Seneca and James Lee, the pseudonym of Rose Marie McCoy. In 1966 the song was recorded again by Terry "Gibby" Haynes for Jetstar Records, and on this release the composers are listed as McCoy and Sylvia McKinney. McKinney was also known as Sylvia Robinson who was McCoy's regular song-writing partner, and half of the duo Mickey & Sylvia. On the 2018 re-release of Dynamite!, Seneca was given sole song-writing credit.
Following the success of "A Fool in Love", Ike & Tina Turner scored another hit with "I Idolize You", and they released their debut album, The Soul of Ike & Tina Turner in February 1961. They toured all over the country on the Chitlin' Circuit as The Ike & Tina Turner Revue, which included Ike's band the Kings of Rhythm, and three backing vocalists known as the Ikettes.
Songwriter Rose Marie McCoy co-wrote "It's Gonna Work Out Fine" with Joe Seneca, but McCoy used her pseudonym James Lee when it was copyrighted. After being suggested by her writing partner Sylvia to hear Tina Turner sing, McCoy attended their show at the Apollo Theater and approached the duo about recording the song. Ike and Tina Turner recorded the song with their band and the Ikettes in New York.
Sylvia Robinson of the duo Mickey & Sylvia reportedly produced and arranged the song, but she did not receive credit. In a 1981 interview with Black Radio Exclusive magazine Robinson said, "I paid for the session, taught Tina the song; that's me playing guitar." Mickey & Sylvia also recorded a version of the song in 1960 which was unreleased until their 1990 compilation album Love Is Strange.
Ike & Tina Turner's version was released as a single in June 1961 and became their biggest hit since "A Fool in Love". It peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot R&B Sides chart and became their third pop hit, reaching No. 14 on the Hot 100.
In addition to being released on the album Dynamite! in 1962, the song was also released on the album It's Gonna Work Out Fine in 1963.
Billboard (June 19, 1961): "Ike and Tina talk about love on this attractive disk which also features a gospel-styled chorus. Pair handle the tune with gusto and it has a chance."
