This sentence might be dropped: Turner recorded for many of the key R&B record labels of the 1950s and 1960s, including Chess, Modern, Trumpet, Flair, and Sue.[6] He progressed to larger labels such as Blue Thumb, Liberty, and United Artists with the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. MOS:LEAD refers.

Conclusion

 * --Whiteguru (talk) 08:59, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I've made changes to correct the issues that were addressed in the GA Review.--Twixister (talk) 05:05, 3 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Changes made so far look good. Thank you. The GA Review cannot be passed until the citation issues are repaired. --Whiteguru (talk) 20:29, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I added page numbers to the books and removed the dead links. Some of the citations from sources like The New York Times require a registration. What are the citation issues that need to be repaired?--Twixister (talk) 12:38, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Where The New York Times requires registration, simply add the template or   to the entry - as the case may be - (as cited above) and this shall likely fix all your issues. --Whiteguru (talk) 02:15, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for explaining. I've added the subscription required template to the citations--Twixister (talk) 12:54, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your work. You have done a lot of checking on archive.org which has brought the results you need. That finishes the review for you --Whiteguru (talk) 03:49, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
