Ike Turner is Dead!

So I just told my BF that Ike Turner died, and he goes..."who's that?" I went on to explain - Ike of Ike and Tina Turner and he still looked at me with a blank expression. Wow! Wow on 2 counts. Can't believe Ike is dead. And that the BF has no idea who he is. Makes me want to rent/buy "What's Love Got to Do With It?" Love him or hate him he still made some outstanding contributions to the music world.
