"
River Deep – Mountain High" is a 1966 single performed by
Tina Turner and credited to
Ike & Tina Turner. Considered by producer
Phil Spector to be his best work, the single was successful in
Europe, peaking at number 3 in the
United Kingdom, and peaking at number 16 in
Australia though it flopped on its original release in the
United States. Spector claimed to be pleased with the response from the critics and his peers, but he then withdrew from the
music industry for two years, beginning his personal decline.
