Ike & Tina Turner - River Deep – Mountain High • TopPop

“River Deep - Mountain High,“ recorded by Tina Turner, was written by Ellie Greenwich, Jeff Barry, and the legendary Phil Spector. This track weaves together elements of devotion, resilience, and an unyielding determination to conquer all obstacles in the name of love. During the recording process, Tina Turner’s commitment to delivering an exceptional performance was unwavering. In Rolling Stone magazine’s Top 500 Songs, she revealed the sheer intensity of the recording sessions, stating, “I must have sung that 500,000 times. I was drenched with sweat. I had to take my shirt off and stand there in my bra to sing.“ Such was the level of dedication Turner poured into the song, leaving an indelible mark on her artistic journey. “River Deep - Mountain High“ expressed a love that surpassed the boundaries of any river or mountain. This overwhelming devotion resonated deeply with audiences, capturing their hearts and leaving an enduring impression. Interestingly, this sentiment would later reappear in the Motown classic “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,“ recorded in 1967 by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrel, further solidifying the universal appeal of such profound emotional connections. This Ike and Tina Turner performance is recorded at the tv-program “Van Speyk Show Of Liever De Lucht In”, in 1974. Watch our great music videos ❯ More TopPop?
