Much like their previous album,
Come Together, the album features soul-infused covers of rock songs and renewed versions of previous Ike & Tina songs. The album featured the duo's biggest-selling hit, a
funk rock cover of "Proud Mary." The
B-side, "
Funkier Than a Mosquita's Tweeter", was written by Tina's sister
Alline Bullock and later covered by
Nina Simone. Several of the songs were written by Ike (including two by "Eki Renrut", which is Ike Turner spelled backward), including "The Way You Love Me", which the Turners had recorded for their debut album,
The Soul of Ike & Tina Turner, nearly a decade earlier. Three singles were released from the album in the
US. The title track, "
Workin' Together," peaked at No. 41 on the
Billboard R&B chart and No. 105 on
Bubbling Under The Hot 100. The second single, a cover of "Proud Mary" by
Creedence Clearwater Revival, became the duo's biggest hit. It peaked at No. 4 on the Hot 100 chart and reached No. 5 on the R&B chart. It also earned Ike and Tina a
Grammy Award for Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Group in 1972. A fourth single, a cover of "
Get Back" by
the Beatles, was released in Germany. == Critical reception ==
