    Irma Thomas Don't Mess With My Man (reissue)

    Fryers Records
    • Irma Thomas – Don't Mess With My Man
    • Irma Thomas – I Did My Part
    • 1. Don't Mess With My Man
    • 2. I Did My Part

    Banging, funky R&B from the Soul Queen of New Orleans. Sexy, raunchy rhythm and blues, years ahead of its time. ‘Don’t Mess With My Man’ was Irma's first single and has been spun continuously on the Deepfunk & R&B scenes for years, making it not only in demand but expensive. On the flip, the more sophisticated ‘I Did My Part’ is another dancefloor mover. It’s call and response lyrics echoed for a third time by the sax line creating a hypnotic R&B groove. Two, solid, tried and tested party smashers. Essential!
