Irma Thomas - I've been loving you too long

Irma Thomas is one of my absolute favourite singers. As a 16 year old girl she lost her first job, washing dishes in a restuarant, becase the patrons complained about her singing while she worked. In 2018 at the age of 76 she was awarded an Honorary Doctorate for her more than 5 decades of service to music and to the people of New Orleans, her home city, by Tulane University in the city. ( that used to be University of Louisiana.) There is Soul, then there's Deep Soul and then ......there's this Powerhouse Soul from Irma. Enjoy!
