An overview of the life in music of Irma Thomas, The Soul Queen of New Orleans.

Chronicling her life and 50 year career, the program includes an extensive interview with Irma Thomas, as well as commentary from many of her colleagues. Included will be archival performance and interview footage culled from decades of performances filmed by Michael Murphy Productions. First and foremost, the program will be visual storytelling at its best, allowing Irma to tell her own story, and giving audiences the opportunity to get to know the artist and woman that, quoting Bonnie Raitt, ". her voice today is as-just as beautiful and sultry and powerful as it was on her first records. And she's a legend. She's as good today as she was the day she came out of the church singing."—Cilista Eberle
