QuEEn of LouiSiaNa: irMa ThOmas


I was on my bike this morning, ahead of me, a girl on her bicycle had a shirt that read, "Diamonds are nice, so are pearls, but there's nothing like a Mississippi girl". Made me smile and got me thinking about the South and Irma Thomas and how I needed to post a little something again. She's one of my favorites and I hope she'll become one of yours, too. There's no one else like her. Make sure to start with her old numbers, track names found below...
