This was not
their only appearance
with Johnny Carson
but on October 4, 1972
were on screen
for 12 minutes
Half of that time
they were interviewed
with Ike saying
no more than six words
but Tina and Johnny
more than made up for it
Two songs were performed
with their own orchestra
and

On stage,
was explosively delicious
and funky
BUT
tender and loving
when she needed to be

My late uncle was a student at Jefferson High School and told me
ReplyDeletethat one of the teachers had a classroom with a picture of
Ike and Tina's WATERMELON ALBUM on the wall.
Was that you?
YES...it was me but the "picture" was the actual album cover
Deleteand I believe I still have it somewhere
in one of my countless file cabinets
