On Tuesday, February 18, in celebration of Irma Thomas's birthday, we debuted "Irma's Story," a program produced by three of WWOZ's veteran show hosts: Cole Williams, Neil Pellegrin, and George Ingmire.
In a wide-ranging conversation with Irma, we learn about her early years, her time working with Allen Toussaint and other greats, the twists and turns of her life, and how she got that title of the Soul Queen of New Orleans. Plus, hear lots of great songs from her entire career, of course!
Hear the entire 2-hour program in two parts below.
