The Resume

    (1960-1976)
    Original members: Delores Johnson, Eloise Hester and Joshie Armstead
    Backing singers for Ike and Tina Turner
    Recorded the singles 'I'm Blue (The Gong-Gong Song)' (1961), 'The Camel Walk' (1964), 'Peaches and Cream' (1965) and 'I'm So Thankful' (1965)

Why they might be annoying:

    They had a revolving door line-up.
    After 'Peaches and Cream' became a hit, Ike kept the singers who recorded the song in his revue while sending a second set of Ikettes on tour with the Dick Clark Caravan of Stars.
    They tried to book their own 60-date tour, but Ike got a restraining order to stop them.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They complemented Tina nicely on stage.
    They had Top 40 hits on their own.
    Ike constantly underpaid them.
    Group members included Bonnie Bramlett and Shellie Clarke of the Honey Cone.
