This is an old and familiar song. It just joined my stream today, coming from many things and nothing, as often happens with the breccia that I call my thinking.
I first heard this song, “River Deep, Mountain High” by Ike & Tina Turner, when I was young. I don’t recall the circumstances, but wikipedia tells me it was released in 1966, so it’s reasonable to think I heard it on AM radio while driving about with Mom in her car. Later covers were more commercially successful.
Ike and Tina broke up. There’s a big story behind those four words. Ike has passed away. Tina lives on.

In the early 80s, I was fortunate to be in San Francisco and a group of us got together to do the nightclub tour—the last stop was the Fairmont Hotel where Tina Turner was doing her shows. “River Deep, Mountain High” was one of her show-stopping songs and it was unforgettable, hearing her sing it in person.
