Ike and Tina Turner photographed by Tony Frank at the Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris in 1971. They were in Paris to perform at L’Olympia, where they recorded the Live in Paris album, and they appeared on a television show.
By 1971, Ike & Tina Turner had incorporated rock songs into their repertoire and mainly performed covers of recent hits. They performed songs by the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, while still remaining true to their R&B and soul roots with covers like “Respect” by Otis Redding and “I Want To Take You Higher” by Sly and the Family Stone.
In January 1971, Liberty Records released the single “Proud Mary” from the album Workin’ Together to coincide with Ike & Tina Turner’s French tour. The tour included dates at the Olympia in Paris. The concert on January 30, 1971 was recorded and released as a double album in Europe later that year. The album was arranged by Ike Turner and produced by Eddie Adamis. It peaked at number 25 in Germany.
Below are some other photographs of Tina Turner in the same hotel room, the Royal Suite, at the Four Seasons George V in January 1971. The photos were taken by Patrice Habans for Paris Match.

Still Tina excellent performer stated" during later years of career success. International audience admire the antics of Tina" loyal bough larger audience regarding come back. Private Dancer which recorded U.K and EU not USA which refuse give her recording contract! I'll say again why Ike and Tina never gotten musical respect from Black audience?
