Produced by Ike and Tina Turner, this is Little Bones, who is, as you have already guessed, Ike Turner himself in disguise on his own Prann label in 1963. Little Bones also released the last 45 on Prann as Little Bones (The World's Greatest Singing Cricket) : I Know/Goin' To The River, Prann 5006).
An early pioneer of 1950s rock and roll, Ike Turner is best known for his work in the 1960s and 1970s with his wife Tina Turner as the leader of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue.
Izear Luster "Ike" Turner Jr. (1931-2007) was an American musician, bandleader, songwriter, record producer, and talent scout [Wikipedia] And also, if I may add, a philosopher.

Ike has summarized his view on the world in his book Taking Back My Name :
Everything is based on a hole. You got a hole in the head of your penis, where you pee from. The penis and the vagina, another hole, get together and out comes the baby.
The baby comes out of a hole into a whole - the whole world. You see out of a hole, hear out of a hole, smell out of hole, breathe out of a hole, eat out of a hole, pee out of a hole, shit out of a hole.
If you get too much money, you gonna be in a hole - because you can't go nowhere. If you don't get enough money, you definitely going to be in a hole. And when you die, where you going? Right back in a hole.
So the best thing to do is to stop trying to stay out of the hole. Get in the hole and find out what's happening with the hole and then you know how to handle the hole.
