"you know i love you" is a 1952 song by b.b. king and his orchestra. the single was b.b. king's second release to reach the u.s. r&b chart and his second number one hit. "you know i know i love you" spent eighteen weeks on the charts. king's friend and collaborator ike turner played piano on the original recording. it was this recording both ike and tina turner credited as the song a 17-year-old tina, then anna mae bullock, sung for ike at the east st. louis nightclub, club manhattan, that convinced him to let her sing in his band, the kings of rhythm. in 1993, tina would record a song for the "what's love got to do with it" soundtrack and subsequent film, which is lipped by angela bassett, who plays tina in the film, however the song turner performs is a very different song than the one tina sung in front of ike turner in 1956.
