1975

„The footage was riveting. There was incredible energy and vitality between them. Tina was a whirlwind of freedom and spontaneity and she was teasing Ike, trying to get him to loosen up, but there was an edge about it. It was as if she was challenging him just a bit. It felt almost dangerous but at the same time ecstatically creative. Ike, on the other hand, was reserved and controlled. He was very charismatic. He had a regal, majestic quality about him, and a tremendous sense of who he was. A planned shot of the pair kissing didn’t pan out— the two never quite got there. I didn’t see love and affection between them as much as I saw an intense creative interaction.“
