#IrmaThomas (born February 18, 1941) is an American singer from New Orleans. She is known as the "#Soul Queen of New Orleans".

Thomas is a contemporary of Aretha Franklin and Etta James, but never experienced their level of commercial success. In 2007, she won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary #Blues Album for After the Rain, her first Grammy in a career spanning over 50 years.

People don't realize they're standing in front of a legend. So much talent Ms. Thomas.

[dennisscalici]

She’s one of the all time greats. This is real Rythum & Blues

[marcguidry]

I saw her at a club that no longer exists. If you from southeast Louisiana, and you're as old as me, you'll remember the place. It was called "Old Man Rivers". She was great back then, and she still great.

[TinnyDee]

Just like wine....I Think she sounds even better now then ever, if ya can imagine That!!

[RobertVeasquez]

What a voice! This gorgeous lady still has all of her chops!

[TheresaWeichert-yjjb]

The year I served the food and drinks to the people where you was was fun I was sort of shy at first but I did fine your music and seeing you again was great thank you

[OtisFan]

Isn't she wonderful? Still a great blues singer at 74; charming and looks great. Gives all young performers and fans inspiration. Time is indeed on her side. Love the ending of Ruler of My Heart (9:10). BTW, You Can Have My Husband was her first single in 1960--super instrumental solos on that one. Thanks for posting.

[MrUsaer]

Brings back the best memories of all the dances I went to and fell in love with Irma's voice and music. I made up my mind to see her at least one more time in person, even if it is on my pre-mature bucket list. Lord bless Irma Thomas with her big heart, soulful soul, and the voice of an angel. Irma looks so content and fulfilled these days and she should be. Irma touched so many of us kids here in New Orleans and I was lucky enough to have been one of them. Love ya Irma.

[vittoriocastelli]

The most relaxed stage personality I ever saw.
She stands up there as relaxed as she probably is in her kitchen
I hope she cooks as well as she sings!
I Love her

[orrcountry]

Such a natural singer, and that voice! I've never met her, but I'll bet she's a nice person.

[geraldinemustang]

It was a total dream of mine to see her life, which I finally did all the jazz fest about 15 years ago. Just incredible absolute legend ❤️

[robertchristie]

50 years since you recorded Time Is On My Side unreal Irma shame BBs not picking to You Can Have My Husband, Lovely xx

[kimh]

Great organ and other backing musicians. That's one of the beauties of NOJF. There's always the flexibility and local talent to put together a one-off, hot ticket ensemble to back their own legends for the fest. Love you Erma.
