Sony Records
Sony Records was a record label founded by R&B duo Ike & Tina Turner in 1963. It was not affiliated with Sony Group Corporation.
Ike Turner produced singles by members of the Kings of Rhythm and the Ikettes on Sony Records. Records on the label were distributed by CIRCA distributing firm. CIRCA (Consolidated International Record Company of America) was formed in 1962 to operate as a releasing company for independent labels by working with various distributors around the US. After Venetta Fields released "You're Still My Baby" on Sony Records, Ike later changed the name to Sonja Records.
Ike &Tina Turner met in 1956 before Tina had changed her name from Anna Mae Bullock with the help of Ike to get her career started. The duo started to perform as the Ike Turner Revue. By 1962, they got married in Tijuana, Mexico. Ike had two children from a previous marriage, Ike Jr. and Michael, while Tina had one son, Craig, with Ike's bandmate Raymond Hill. While Ike and Tina both adopted each other's children, they did have one child together which was Ronnie. In total, the couple had four children.
Even though Ike and Tina Turner had a successful career together, their personal relationship was abusive. After years of enduring abuse, infidelity and dealing with Ike's drug addiction and cocaine possession, Tina divorced him in 1978. During their marriage, Tina attempted suicide because of the abuse from Ike. Tina went on to have a successful solo career winning four Grammys for her solo album "Private Dancer," which also sold over 20 million copies. From 1989 to 1991, Ike was in prison for cocaine possession. In 1991, Ike and Tina Turner were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. After he got out of prison, Ike's career went on and he won a Grammy in 2007 for his album "Risin' with the Blues."
In 2007, Ike died of a drug overdose in his home in San Marcos, California at the age of 76. Tina went on to live in Küsnacht, Switzerland, where she later died in 2023 due to long term illness.
