It's all about the Soul this week.
This song and Bettye Swann's 'Tell It Like It Is' are always connected in my mind since I first heard both on a Stateside compilation I know I've mentioned here before.
Sweet Irma. Still going strong and 70 years young in Feb.
Irma Thomas - 'Wish Someone Would Care' (1964)
'Tell it like it is' is one of my all time favourites, but I hadn't heard the Bettye Swann version until last night as I was roasting my potatoes, funnily enough.
