The single entered the lower end of the Billboard 100 and stopped at #88 on the pop charts. At Ike Turner's 2007 funeral, Phil Spector chastised the film's depiction saying that he had a good relationship with Ike Turner and that the film was 'garbage' stating that he insisted for Ike's name to be included on the recording despite the fact that executives of Spector's label Philles had only wanted Tina billed on the recording. The recording of the song was later dramatized for Tina Turner's biopic, What's Love Got to Do with It. Due to Spector's perfectionism in the studio, he made Turner sing the song over and over for several hours until he felt was the perfect vocal take for the song. The track was recorded using Spector's 'Wall of Sound' production technique, cost a then-unheard of $22,000, and required 21 session musicians and 21 background vocalists. Spector was well aware of Ike Turner's controlling attitude in the studio, and resultantly drew up an unusual contract: the River Deep – Mountain High (album) and single would be credited to 'Ike & Tina Turner', but Ike was paid $20,000 to stay away from the studio, and only Tina Turner's vocals would be used on record. Written by Spector, Jeff Barry, and Ellie Greenwich, 'River Deep - Mountain High' was among the first recordings that Ike & Tina Turner did for Phil Spector's Philles Records. In 1999, 'River Deep – Mountain High' was inducted in the Grammy Hall of Fame. Spector claimed to be pleased with the response from the critics and his peers, but he then withdrew from the music industry for two years, beginning his personal decline.Īfter Eric Burdon and the Animals covered the song in 1968, it was re-released a year later, and has since become one of Tina Turner's signature songs, though it charted even lower, 'Bubbling Under' at #112. Considered by producer Phil Spector to be his best work, the single was successful in Europe, peaking at #3 in the United Kingdom, though it flopped on its original release in the United States. 'River Deep – Mountain High' is a 1966 single by Ike & Tina Turner. It was released in September 1966 (1966-09) on A&M Records.

The album contains songs from several different sources, 5 songs produced by the legendary producer Phil Spector and 7 songs that are older recordings produced by Ike Turner. River Deep Mountain High is a studio album by the American R&B duo Ike & Tina Turner.
