Notes
Twenty-three sides representing the cream of Irma Thomas’s brilliant Minit/Liberty years (1961-1966), when her reputation as “The Soul Queen of New Orleans” was built. Virtually all her best-known tunes are here — “Wish Someone Would Care,” “Ruler of My Heart,” “It’s Raining,” and “Time Is on My Side” (covered note-for-note by The Stones). Beautiful singing from one of the first ladies of soul music. Essential.
