The Soul of Ike & Tina Turner is the debut album by Ike & Tina Turner, released on the Sue Records label in 1961. It's noted for the duo's debut hit single, "A Fool in Love" and for its modest follow-up singles, "I'm Jealous" and the top five R&B hit, "I Idolize You".

"A Fool in Love" is sometimes considered to mark the beginning of soul music. While Tina Turner did most of the lead vocals on the album, Ike Turner and Tina sung along to each other in the duets, "You Can't Blame Me" and "You're My Baby". The Artettes, a girl group Ike Turner had hired shortly after making Tina the lead singer of his band, was hired to sing background vocals on the album. Afterwards, Ike Turner changed their name to The Ikettes and they would continue to provide background vocals until the end of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue in the mid-1970s.
