Three of Ike & Tina Turner's Ikettes - Venetta Fields , Jessie Smith and Robbie Montgomery , became The Mirettes in 1966 , and were together until 1970 . The trio signed to Mirwood Records as an attempt and way to break out from under Ike Turner’s oppressive dictatorship . Unfortunately , despite a promising start , they had legal problems, and were even bullied and intimidated out of performing by Turner and his allies .

With Tina’s sister Alline Bullock as their manager , the former Ikettes left Ike and set up their own sixty date tour : But Ike put restraining orders out and had people physically prevent them from going on stage . They tried billing themselves as
“ The Mirettes - formerly the Ikettes ” , but Ike would have nothing to do with it . Finally , they emerged as the Mirettes without any recognition of the popular act they had been only months earlier.

While no big hits followed , the Mirettes proved they did not need Ike to make great records. Their first single, the smooth and soulful “ He’s Alright With Me ” was released in 1966 on Mirwood Records , but it is the Mirettes’ gritty version of “ In The Midnight Hour ” that R&B fans claim as their favourite . Without hit records or big -name recognition or achievement , money from touring was not as lucrative as session work , and The Mirettes disbanded in 1970 .
