Somebody Needs You
"Somebody Needs You" is a song written by Motown songwriter Frank Wilson. It was originally released as a non-album track by R&B duo Ike & Tina Turner on Loma Records in May 1965. In 1966, soul singer Darrell Banks reached the "Billboard" charts with his rendition.

Characterized by a "driving rock" melody, "Cash Box" described Ike & Tina Turner's single as a "Detroit styled throbber." A live version was included on the album "The Ike & Tina Turner Show Vol. 2" (Loma Records, 1967). The song later appeared on the compilation "Finger Poppin'…The Warner Brothers Years" (Edsel Records, 1988).
