      Considering the newest promo for Black Mirror & Netflix uploaded on Netflix's channel 3 days ago as of writing this comment also featured her beautiful song, sung by Jessica Brown-Findlay, I would be quite surprised if the creators of the show aren't itching to get Irma to appear on a future episode at this point.

    My mamma was an alcoholic. She grew up in foster care and drank her sorrows away everynight and played the blues. I grew up on Irma. I now have lived in New Orleans for 30 years. I come home from working in the French quarter late at night and listen to Irma, like tonight. She lives 5 miles away from me and often im tempted to go leave a letter on her door telling her what her music means to me. She is legendary to me. I often wonder how man 50 yr old white men or 50 yr Olds period know every word to her songs. Who is home in bed at 3 a.m. jamming to Irma??? I am.. trust. Shout out to Irma Thomas for a lifetime of good and timeless music.

    I got lucky years ago when an ex girlfriends mother was playing this song. The chorus and xylophone caught my attention right off the bat. Had it on my music lists for awhile now.
    Played it at my house party I was hosting for my parents and my mother remembered the song and had forgotten it over the years. Now it's requested a lot by her.
    Awesome song

    I saw it on AB when I was 13. Loved Irma. This was in the same R&B sound in the genre of the he girl singers on 1962-65. Timi Yuro, Sandi Shaw, Cilla Black, Dusty Springfield doing blue-eyed soul. Irma was the real deal. New Orleans girl. Motown signed Brenda Holloway and I thought for sure they would get Irma. It was a glorious time to be a teen.

      +MactanDotCom that is such a closed minded view of music and you should be ashamed if you truly feel that way. There are still plenty of very talents musicians today - even those that work on "synthesizers and drum machines" as you say. Irma Thomas' era of music was absolutely gorgeous, but so was the 40s, 50s, 70s, 80s, and heck, all music. I suppose not everyone is blessed with the ability to truly love music and appreciate it in all forms.

    A quick trivia note about Johnny Burnette, whose song was featured on Rate A Record. I'm guessing this show was taped potentially days before Johnny Burnette died in a boating accident on 8/1/1964. At first I thought they were featuring his song because he had just passed, but you wouldn't think so by the way Dick was reacting at the end of the song. I wish we could see where Dick introduces the song just to confirm he had no idea of Johnny's passing. And I really like Johnny's song too.
