TINA: Single
Root, Toot Undisputable Rock’n Roller (1978)
Root, Toot Undisputable Rock’n Roller was the first single, taken from the album Rough. Tina promoted the song at several TV-Shows and performed it live in her early solo concerts. A live version is available on the Wild Lady of Rock home video from 1979. The b-side track „Night Time Is The Right Time“ was already recorded by Ike & Tina, but was not released before 1991 on the sampler Good Old Times. The Australian single contains an otherwise unreleased edited version of the song.
