Ike & Tina Turner - Somebody Needs You - Single

Somebody Needs You is a very rare single with two previously unreleased songs. The title track is stylistically very unusual for Ike & Tina, because their song material was in the mid sixties harder and more R&B. A version with audience overdubs was also included into the tracklist of the album The Ike & Tina Turner Show (Vol. 2). Both songs have been reissued on the sampler The Warner Brothers Years in 1988.

  1. Somebody (Somewhere) Needs You 2:35
    2. Written by F. Wilson
  2. (I’ll Do Anything) Just To Be With You 2:41
    3. Written by Sam Cooke

Producer: Ike Turner

In England, an additional extended play single was released, featuring both songs from the regular single and two live tracks, taken from the album Live! The Ike & Tina Turner Show.
