"It's Gonna Work Out Fine" is a song written by Rose Marie McCoy and Sylvia McKinney, and released as a single by Ike & Tina Turner in 1961.Their second million-selling hit after "A Fool in Love". The song was recorded a year after Ike and Tina Turner broke through with their blues-oriented soul number, "A Fool in Love". Rose Marie McCoy stated, "I wrote the song, but I heard that Tina didn't really care for it. Anyway, at the time, Sylvia (McKinney) told me I had to "hear this girl sing it." When Ike and Tina came to New York, I went up to the Apollo to see them. Ike called Tina in the room. He said "Sing that song." She didn't say a word, but she sang. She sang like her life depended on it. I told Sylvia, if it sounds that good now, I can't wait to hear it with the music behind it." 0Much like "A Fool in Love", the song became an early highlight of Ike & Tina's live shows as the duo's band transformed from The Kings of Rhythm in which Tina was the lead vocalist and sole dancer into The Ike & Tina Turner Revue, by 1962. It also resulted in the group's first Grammy nomination for Best Rock & Roll Vocal Performance By a Duo or Group. The song's guitar riffs were similar to songs released in that time period including "Nutbush City Limits" and "Sexy Ida (Part 2)".
