Arnold, is an American soul singer who enjoyed considerable success in the United Kingdom from the 1960s onwards. Maxine Smith and her friend Gloria Scott had managed to arrange an audition for three girls to replace the original Ikettes, the dancer/singer troupe that provided vocal and dance accompaniment for the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. Smith contacted Arnold, whom she knew to be a singer. At the audition the three young women were offered the job on the spot, but Smith persuaded Arnold to attend a concert in Fresno that night before making a final decision. As an Ikette, Arnold sang lead on the 1966 single "What'cha Gonna Do (When I Leave You)," backed by Brenda Holloway and Patrice Holloway for Phil Spector's Phi-Dan Records. Arnold sang backing vocals on the tracks "River Deep – Mountain High" and "A Love Like Yours (Don't Come Knocking Everyday)" in 1966. She also appeared in the 1966 concert film, The Big T.N.T Show. Arnold quit the Ike & Tina Turner Revue in the fall of 1966 after their tour with the Rolling Stones in the UK. She remained in London to establish a solo career, with the encouragement of Mick Jagger. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P._P._Arnold (2020) International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families - ISAAR(CPF) 2nd edition - ICA 2004 ISBN 2-9521932-2-3 National Council on Archives, Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names, 1997 Yes RAHdroberts 6/26/2014 RAHAKirkbride 11/4/2022 69ddafee-5617-45f8-803e-b6578d613610
