I'm Blue (The Gong-Gong Song)

"I'm Blue (The Gong-Gong Song)" is a song written by Ike Turner and recorded by Ike & Tina Turner's backing trio The Ikettes in 1961.

[2] Like most of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue's music during this time, it was recorded while the group was on the road.

By 1961, the formerly known Artettes had been singing as a backing trio with Ike & Tina for over a year, having been involved since the hit, "A Fool in Love".

To bide time in the studio, Ike Turner wrote a song custom-made for the girl group.

Tina Turner herself was involved in the recording, helping to arrange the vocals and could be heard singing along in the background.
