Frank Zappa Dirty Love

Frank Zappa wanted to use backup singers on the songs “I'm the Slime“, “Dirty Love“, “Zomby Woof“, “Dinah-Moe Humm“ and “Montana“. His road manager suggested The Ikettes, and Ike & Tina Turner were contacted. Ike Turner insisted that Zappa pay the singers, including Tina Turner, no more than $25 per song.[1] During the recording sessions, Tina brought Ike into the studio to hear one of her recordings with Zappa. Ike listened to the tape and responded “What is this shit?“ before leaving the studio.[1] Ike later insisted that Zappa would not credit the Ikettes on the released album (1973).
