The Ikettes began their careers as 'The Artettes', a backing group for singer Art Lassiter and later became billed as 'The Ikettes' in 1960 when they began to record with and accompany the Ike and Tina Turner Revue. As the 60s progressed, the Ikettes became famous for their sexy minidresses, long silken hair, and expert mirroring of superstar Tina Turner's frenetic choreography. The Ikettes would continue beyond the Ike and Tina Turner Revue, record their own solo albums, and support Ike Turner in many configurations and personnel changes. They would back up Ike Turner through the 2000s until his death in 2007. Exhibiting expected stage wear. Footnotes: Provenance: From the Love family.
