[[File:Ike Turner at 1997 Long Beach Blues Festival.jpg|thumb|274x274px|Ike Turner performing at the [[Long Beach Blues Festival]] in 1997]]
In his career, Turner originally worked in the style of 1950s R&B, or post-[[jump blues]]. His early influences included [[Amos Milburn]] and Louis Jordan, as well as country music artists such as [[Hank Williams]] Sr. and [[Merle Travis]].<ref name="Fowler-1998" /> Though primarily known as a guitarist, Turner began his career playing piano and personally considered it his main instrument.{{Sfn|Turner|1999|p=28}} In 1951, journalist Mike McGee compared him to jazz pianist [[Fats Waller]] and wrote: "Ike Turner is the hottest piano player in many a day."<ref>{{Cite news |last=McGee |first=Mike |date=April 15, 1951 |title=Will 'Plugs' Really Sell Any Ducats? - One Can Really Learn About 'Rocket 88' If One Time |pages=Section V 9 |work=The Commercial Appeal |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-commercial-appeal-ike-turner-at-w-c/133217908/}}</ref>

Turner grew up playing [[boogie woogie]] piano, which he learned from blues pianist Pinetop Perkins.{{Sfn|Turner|1999|p=25-26}} He decided he was not meant to be a frontman when at twelve he was coerced into giving an impromptu piano recital in school. He found the experience terrifying and from then on preferred not to be the focus of attention, but rather to be in the background controlling the show. He considered himself an organizer rather than a performer.{{Sfn|Turner|1999|p=28-29}} Musician [[Donald Fagen]] noted: "[T]alented as he was, there wasn't anything really supernatural about Ike's skills as a musician... What Ike excelled at was leadership: conceptualization, organization, and execution."<ref name="Fagen-12-17-2007">{{cite web|last=Fagen|first=Donald|title=The Devil and Ike Turner: Parsing his hits|url=http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/obit/2007/12/the_devil_and_ike_turner.html|work=Slate Obituary, Dec. 17, 2007|date=December 17, 2007|access-date=November 8, 2011}}</ref>

Turner's guitar style is distinguished by heavy use of the [[whammy bar]] to achieve a strong [[reverb]]-soaked [[vibrato]], string bending, [[hammer-on]]s and [[Tuplet|triplets]] in his blues phrasing.<ref name=Rubin-12-09>{{cite journal|last=Rubin |first=Dave |title=Ike Turner: The Soulful Style of the Electric Blues/R&B Guitarist |journal=Premier Guitar |date=December 2009 |page=88 |url=http://www.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2009/Dec/Ike_Turner_The_Soulful_Style_of_the_Electric_Blues_R_B_Guitarist.aspx |access-date=October 1, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100328115233/http://www.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2009/Dec/Ike_Turner_The_Soulful_Style_of_the_Electric_Blues_R_B_Guitarist.aspx |archive-date=March 28, 2010}}</ref> Turner was an early adopter of the [[Fender Stratocaster]] electric guitar, buying one from O.K.

Reviewing Turner's 1973 album ''[[Bad Dreams (Ike Turner album)|Bad Dreams]]'', [[Robert Christgau]] wrote: "After twenty years of raking it in from the shadows, he's finally figured out a way of applying his basically comic [[Bass-baritone|bass/baritone]] to rock and roll.

Turner was praised by his contemporaries for his influence. [[Johnny Otis]] said, "Ike Turner is a very important man in American music. The texture and flavor of R&B owe a lot to him. He defined how to put the [[Fender Musical Instruments Corporation|Fender]] bass into that music. He was a great innovator."<ref name="Kiersh-08-1985" /> B.B. King was a great admirer of Turner, describing him as "The best bandleader I've ever seen."<ref name="Collis-2003-41">{{harvnb|Collis|2003|p=41}}</ref> King also said, "When they talk about rock 'n roll, I see Ike as one of the founding fathers."<ref>{{Cite magazine|date=June 2, 2001|title=Ike Turner & The Kings of Rhythm: Here and Now|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Billboard/00s/2001/BB-2001-06-02.pdf|magazine=Billboard|pages=118}}</ref> Turner was a big influence on Little Richard, who wrote the introduction to Turner's autobiography.<ref name="Jet-2008" /> Little Richard was inspired to play the piano after he heard Turner's piano intro on "Rocket 88", and later used it note for note on "[[Good Golly, Miss Molly]]".<ref>{{Cite book|last=Weinstein|first=Deena|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NNVDBgAAQBAJ&q=rocket+88+good+golly+miss+molly+piano&pg=PA68|title=Rock'n America: A Social and Cultural History|publisher=University of Toronto Press|year=2015|isbn=978-1-4426-0015-7|pages=68|language=en}}</ref>{{Sfn|Turner|1999|p=xi}} [[Prince (musician)|Prince]] also said Turner was his first musical influence.<ref>{{Cite web|last=jonbream|date=June 16, 2010|title=Ebony visits Prince at Paisley Park|url=https://www.startribune.com/ebony-visits-prince-at-paisley-park/96452359/|access-date=January 16, 2022|website=Star Tribune}}</ref>

Phil Alexander, editor-in-chief of ''[[Mojo (magazine)|Mojo]]'' magazine, referred to Turner as the "cornerstone of modern day rock 'n' roll" and credited his arrangements of blues standards as being an influence on 1960s British Invasion groups: "He proceeded to influence British rockers from the mid-1960s onwards. Without Ike you wouldn't have had the Stones and [[Led Zeppelin|Zeppelin]]. People like that wouldn't have had the source material on which they drew."<ref name="bbc-12-13-2007" />

Speaking on "Rocket 88" being a contender for the first rock 'n' roll record, broadcaster [[Paul Gambaccini]] said:<blockquote>In musical terms [he was] very important. "Rocket 88" is one of the two records that can claim to be the first rock 'n' roll record, the other being "[[The Fat Man (song)|The Fat Man]]" by [[Fats Domino]] from 1949. But "Rocket 88" does have a couple of elements which "The Fat Man" did not. The wailing saxophone and that distorted electric guitar. It was number one in the rhythm and blues chart for five weeks, it is in the [[Grammy Hall of Fame]] and it was an indisputable claim to fame for Ike Turner....To critics he will be known as a great founder, unfortunately to the general public he will always be known as a brutal man.<ref name="bbc-12-13-2007" /></blockquote>[[Nigel Cawthorne]]—co-author of Turner's autobiography—said:<blockquote>Although there had been black rock 'n' rollers who had made it big already, they really only played to a white audience. Ike and Tina played to a mixed audience and he deliberately desegregated audiences in the southern states and he wouldn't play to any segregated audiences at all. Because he had such a big band and entourage he desegregated a lot of the hotels because the hotel chains wouldn't want to miss out on the money they would make from him touring the southern states.<ref name="bbc-12-13-2007" /></blockquote>Turner's songs have been [[sampling (music)|sampled]] by [[hip hop]] artists; most notably, Salt-N-Pepa used "I'm Blue" for their 1994 hit "Shoop".<ref name="Strauss-08-22-1996" /> [[Jurassic 5]] used "Getting Nasty" from ''A Black Man's Soul'' on the track "[[Concrete Schoolyard]]" in 1997. [[Main Source]] also sampled "Getting Nasty" on the track "Snake Eyes" as well as Ike & Tina Turner's "[[Bold Soul Sister]]" on "Just Hanging Out"; both featured on their 1991 album ''[[Breaking Atoms]]''. The track "[[A Black Man's Soul|Funky Mule]]", also from ''A Black Man's Soul'', has been sampled extensively by jungle DJs, with the drum introduction being a very popular [[Drum break#Break beat|break]]. It was sampled by producer [[Goldie]] for his 1994 hit "[[Inner City Life]]", in the same year by Krome & Time on "The License", and by Paradox in 2002 on track "Funky Mule".<ref name="whosampled">{{cite web|title=Goldie Inner City Life sample of Ike Turner and the Kings of Rhythm|url=http://www.whosampled.com/sample/view/26580/Goldie-Inner%20City%20Life_Ike%20Turner%20and%20The%20Kings%20of%20Rhythm-Funky%20Mule/|work=whosampled.com|publisher=WhoSampled.com Limited|access-date=October 7, 2011}}</ref>

=== Portrayal in popular culture ===
In 1986, Tina Turner released her autobiography, ''I, Tina'', in which she recounted Turner's volatile behavior. He received negative publicity that was exacerbated in 1993 by the release of the film adaptation ''[[What's Love Got to Do with It (1993 film)|What's Love Got to Do with It]]''.<ref name="Fowler-1998" /> Turner received $45,000 for the film, but he had unknowingly signed papers waiving the right to sue [[Disney]]'s [[Touchstone Pictures]] for his depiction.{{Sfn|Turner|1999|p=227-228}} He was portrayed by [[Laurence Fishburne]], whose performance earned him an Oscar nomination for [[Academy Award for Best Actor|Best Actor]] at the [[66th Academy Awards#Awards|66th Academy Awards]].<ref>{{Cite news|date=February 10, 1994|title=THE 66th ACADEMY AWARD NOMINATIONS : OSCARS : The Nominees|work=Los Angeles Times|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-02-10-ca-21456-story.html}}</ref>

After the release of the film, the fictionalized version of Turner from the movie was seized on by comedians, who reused the persona in sketches. On the 1990s [[sketch comedy]] show ''[[In Living Color]]'', Turner was parodied by [[David Alan Grier]]. He was portrayed on ''[[Saturday Night Live]]''{{'}}s [[Weekend Update]] by [[Tim Meadows]] in a pageboy wig. On the ''[[John Boy and Billy]]'' radio show, cast member [[Jeff Pillars]] regularly performed an impersonation of Turner in a segment called "Ax/Ask Ike". These sketches were collected in a 2008 comedy album ''Ike at the Mike''.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ike at the Mike John Boy & Billy|url=https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/ike-at-the-mike/id299236587|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131223022343/https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/ike-at-the-mike/id299236587|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 23, 2013|work=iTunes Store|date=December 10, 2008|publisher=Apple Inc|access-date=November 1, 2011}}</ref> In 2006, ''[[Vibe (magazine)|Vibe]]'' magazine ranked the character of Ike Turner from ''What's Love Got to Do with It'' at No. 4 in their list of the 20 best movie "bad guys".<ref name="vibe">{{cite magazine|last=Dauphin|first=Gary|date=April 2006|title=Bad Guys|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7SYEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA119|magazine=Vibe|access-date=February 27, 2012}}</ref>
