TOP 100 ROCK & ROLL SINGLES OF ALL TIME: #9
9. "River Deep, Mountain High" / Ike & Tina Turner
Despite Ike's name being listed in the credits for the song, it's really all about Tina -- and Phil Spector's dazzling pop orchestration, of course. Tina's performance effortlessly balances pure innocence and raw soul, all backed by Spector's lush arrangements. It's one of those rare shout-it-to-the-sky love songs that (call me a sap) captures that sweet emotion.
