Ike Turner demanded that his name be included on the label, because they were a "team" - so Phil Spector obliged. But only Tina was singing in the recording booth that day, with the "Wrecking Crew" providing that signature
"wall of sound". Due to Spector's perfectionism and tendency to abuse workers in the studio, he made her sing the song over and over for several hours until he felt he had the perfect vocal take for the song. She recalled, "I must have sung that 500,000 times. I was drenched with sweat. I had to take my shirt off and stand there in my bra to sing." It was reported that the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson attended the session, where he sat "transfixed" and "did not say a word".
