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!

Robbie Montgomery, Venetta Fields and Jessie Smith were initially members of the Ikettes who backed Ike and Tina Turner, but left after Ike ...

Shirley Brown with a self penned song. A sad story but that the way it goes with Soul.
