1980 studio album by Ike Turner featuring Tina Turner and Home Grown Funk
The Edge is a studio album by Ike Turner released on Fantasy Records in 1980. It was released two years after Turner`s divorce from his musical partner Tina Turner.
Leer másRecording and release
The Edge contains songs taken from Ike & Tina Turner`s recording sessions together.[1] Tina Turner sings lead on the recordings on the Side A, which include pop-rock hits such as "Only Women Bleed" by Alice Cooper and "Philadelphia Freedom" by Elton John. The B Side contains Ike Turner singing his compositions. The promotional single, "Party Vibes"/"Shame, Shame Shame", charted at No. 27 on the Billboard Disco Top 100 chart in 1980.[2] In 1982, the cover song "Shame, Shame, Shame" was released as a single in the Netherlands, charting at No. 47.[3]
After Tina Turner released her successful Private Dancer album, Fantasy reissued Side A of The Edge as a mini-album in 1984. The cover song, "Lean On Me" by Bill Withers, was released as a single in 1984.
Critical reception
Reviewing the Tina Turner mini-album for Billboard, Nelson George noted that Turner`s "interpretations of two Bill Withers classics "Lean On Me" and "Use Me," were the stand out tracks". He added that on "Lean On Me", Tina, "with more than a little help from Ike`s clever rearrangement, turns Withers` mid-tempo tribute to friendship into a frenzied gospel song".[1]
