“Undisputable Rock’N’Roller” in HD

Out from the Rough album which was Tina’s first solo album after her 1976 split with husband Ike Turner. Her first two solo albums, Tina Turns the Country On! (1974) and Acid Queen (1975), were recorded while she was still married to Ike Turner and also a member of the Ike and Tina Turner Revue.

“Root Toot Undisputable Rock’N’Roller” was the third single out of the album and Tina performed this song on several TV shows in Europe and America. “Night Time Is The Right Time“ from the b-side was already recorded by Ike & Tina, but not released until 1991 on the CD “Good Old Times“.

Here is Tina performing the song on ZDF’s Kultnacht in 1979 for the first time in HD on Youtube!

Lyrics

When you walk into the bar
I’m the first one you’re gonna see
Buisness and pleasure just don’t mix
So can I take your order please
You fellas know I dont take no mess,
It’s a whole lotta woman in this dress

They call me the
Root, toot undisputable Rock and Roller
I gotta fine fanny but a rough talking Annie,
Rock and Roller

Every time the jukebox plays
I get out on the floor
Trouble maker come my way
And I’ll gladly show him the door
Everybody knows to keep it cool
Cause I’m fresh out of karate school

They call me the
Root, toot undisputable Rock and Roller
I gotta fine fanny but a rough talking Annie,
Rock and Roller

Ahhh the root, toot undisputable…
