Irma Thomas, 'Soul Queen of New Orleans'
33/50

Maison De Soul, 1978

A soul sister from the Big Easy with indelibly emotional pipes – she sobs in time with the raindrops in "It's Raining," but she reads her man the riot act in "Hittin' on Nothing."

Essential moment: Her own out-of-nowhere "Wish Someone Would Care."
