Time is on My Side with Irma Thomas The Rolling Stones 2024 JazzFest Thursday May 2nd shot close

[@zecazevedo]

Truly heartwarming. Irma Thomas is a legend and deserves recognition. I love how Jagger let Irma took the vocals of the song, which was her from the very beginning.

[@teijaflink2226]

What a beautiful song she has created.

[@jcmagnus]

Mick is a true gentleman bello mio😂

[@22lyric]

No it wasn't. Written by Jerry Ragovy (not black) and a Danish trombonist Kai Winding recorded first!

[@nutshell1127]

Stones should be commended- paying tribute to their influences is really special!!! Brilliant

[@CherylArbon]

Ms. Irma is indeed the Queen of Soul of New Orleans, an outstanding singer and a great lady.

[@jschweidmd]

The Stones are class acts….giving homage and tribute to a legend. And what an amazing performance.

[@chrisbridgen2711]

Mick and Irma!?! The best thing in the world this week.

[@Jan-pj7gn]

I totally agree Chris !

[@1blastman]

Most definitely!!!!

She is a national treasure that not enough people know about.

[@22lyric]

There are too MANY singers for us to have all known all of them.

[@justinherbert9146]

That was great, thanks for posting this clip. Irma still singing fine and looking smokin hot

[@kellileaneriley4263]

Definitely one of my faves

[@kwmusic4560]

It's been a long time coming for that to happen. Irma Thomas is an absolute legend and still sounds amazing at 83.

Time was on her side for real.

Mick is only 81

And Mick's not far behind her!

Irma is 83 and sou ds fcking amazing! Respect to the Stones for including her, and to Mick for letting her shine! Class acts! Legends!

[@paddycowhey3406]

I finally got to see The Rolling Stones live and in person. Honestly one of the highlights of my life. They are my favorite band and never ever thought that I would be able to see them play

[@johnhiggins7530]

Great to see the respect that the Stones always displayed to their black influences, no racism in those guys

[@privatemale2147]

They were so in awe of American blues. I don't see how they could have ever been racist.

[@adalouisepoons5788]

Because they are very intelligent and well read ❤️

[@westinhill3902]

@@stevephillips-w5v Sorry to break it to you, but much of the world has stolen from black culture.

[@patrikK779]

@@stevephillips-w5vJesus Christ , what’s racist about that ? They play music from other culture because they like it and how better can you show respect , they were always fans of American blues/black music/soul/ jazz / … playing music of other people/culture is not racism but showing tribute and respect to those people and culture ….. nowadays everything is racist ( sick world is nowadays )

[@bretthowser6777]

If the Stones hadn’t brought the blues back to the USA it may well have died here because of Jim Crow making touring so difficult for black blues musicians.

[@commentoria]

Amazing performance. I am tearful at witnessing this communicative duet that is special on so many levels.

[@1blastman]

I've been going to Jazzfest for over 30 years and talking to anyone who would listen about Mick and Irma doing this song together since I moved to New Orleans in 1976. So this is my number 1 live concert thrill of all time. I feel like this is a piece of the puzzle that completes one's life.

[@debbiemeek3741]

Glad you got to see it. I remember my first Jazzfest, and feeling the hair on my arms stand up When 80,000 people sang blueberry Hill. My dad had already passed but his spirit wear sure with me right that moment.

[@1blastman]

@@debbiemeek3741 Was that on a Thursday during the early 2000's? I took my one of my sons to his first Jazzfest and our best memory of that experience was line dancing to Fats singing Blueberry Hill on the Acura Stage. When I sent my rough video of Irma\Mick, it was the first thing my song brought up,

[@johngreenhalgh4428]

Irma has still got it! Really good.

[@annebenn353]

That is amazing since 1964 time was on our side.

[@privatemale2147]

Wow, what a great moment! Total props to the Stones for finding her and giving her the spotlight.

That was absolutely delightful!🤩🤩

[@robertwoodward9231]

I remember listening to a radio show hosted by Ruth Brown, hmm, maybe 60 years ago and she was praising a young up and comer..Irma Thomas. I forgot the songs she sang but ive loved her since that night, so long ago. Thank you!

[@TheSilverNightingale]

The coolest thing ever! Who is the gentleman standing at the back next to the drums who several of the band members acknowledged during the song with head nods, and Steve Jordan shook hands with after the song??

OMG - shivers just watching this!

Saw Irma when I was at the New Orleans Jazz Fest at her bar 1995. Saw her do a gig in NYC too once. Amazing singer. A soul legend.

how great are the Stones bringing this special lady out this is priceless and was my fave went to #6 November 64 ----"now I got the real love-----the kind that you need" that has got to be the hook line of the Brits Invasion

[@dangreenfield8384]

Like many others, this made my day! The song was first recorded by Kai Winding and his Orch. in 1963, without lyrics, except for the repeated title phrase, sung by the Gospelaires. The Gospelaires were Dionne and Dee Dee Warwick, Cissy Houston (Whitney's mom) and Doris Troy, and they did a lot of session work before Dionne's solo career took off. Jimmy Norman added lyrics to the Jerry Ragavoy song, and Irma had the first complete version of it.

[@yvonnedegeus754]

Great stuff. Great lady!

[@deeg8849]

Outstanding. Brings a tear to my eye. All that's missing is Brian, Charlie and Bill.

Irma Thomas (née Lee; born February 18, 1941) is an American singer from New Orleans. She is known as the "Soul Queen of New Orleans". Thomas is a contemporary of Aretha Franklin and Etta James, but never experienced their level of commercial success. In 2007, she won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album for After the Rain, her first Grammy in a career spanning over 50 years. Life and career Born Irma Lee, in Ponchatoula, Louisiana, United States, she was the daughter of Percy Lee, a steel chipper, and Vader Lee, who worked as a maid. As a teenager, she sang with a Baptist church choir. She auditioned for Specialty Records at the age of 13. By the time she was 19, she had been married twice and had four children. Keeping her second ex-husband's surname, she worked as a waitress in New Orleans, occasionally singing with bandleader Tommy Ridgley, who helped her land a record deal with the local Ron label. Her first single, "Don't Mess with My Man", was released in late 1959, and reached number 22 on the US Billboard R&B chart. She then began recording on the Minit label, working with songwriter and producer Allen Toussaint on songs including "It's Raining" and "Ruler of My Heart", which was later reinterpreted by Otis Redding as "Pain in My Heart". Imperial Records acquired Minit in 1963, and a string of successful releases followed. These included "Wish Someone Would Care", her biggest national hit; its B-side "Breakaway", written by Jackie DeShannon and Sharon Sheely (later covered by Tracey Ullman, among others). "Anyone Who Knows What Love Is (Will Understand)" was co-written by a young Randy Newman and future country star Jeannie Seely. This song has gained renewed appreciation as a result of its inclusion in numerous episodes of the science fiction anthology television series Black Mirror, stretching back to the first season. On its B-side is "Time Is on My Side", a song previously recorded by Kai Winding and later by the Rolling Stones. Her first four Imperial singles all charted on Billboard's pop chart, but her later releases were less successful. Unlike her contemporaries Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight and Dionne Warwick, she never managed to cross over into mainstream commercial success. She recorded for Chess Records in 1967-1968 with some success; her version of the Otis Redding song "Good to Me" reached the R&B chart. She then relocated to California, releasing records on various small labels, before returning to Louisiana, and in the early 1980s opened the Lion's Den Club. Down by Law, the 1986 independent film by Jim Jarmusch featured "It's Raining" in the soundtrack. The film's actors Roberto Benigni and Nicoletta Braschi, whose characters fell in love in the movie, danced to the song. After several years' break from recording, she was signed by Rounder Records, and in 1991 earned her first Grammy Award nomination for Live! Simply the Best, recorded in San Francisco.[9] She subsequently released a number of traditional gospel albums, together with more secular recordings. The album Sing It! (1998) was nominated for a Grammy in 1999. Thomas was still active as a performer as of 2021, appearing annually at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (and was scheduled to appear at the iterations that were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic). She reigned as Queen of the Krewe du Vieux for the 1998 New Orleans Mardi Gras season. She often headlined at her own club, but it went out of business due to Hurricane Katrina, which caused her to relocate to Gonzales, Louisiana, 60 miles (97 km) from New Orleans. As of April 2008 she was back in her home in New Orleans. Thomas is interviewed on screen and appears in performance footage in the 2005 documentary film Make It Funky!, which presents a history of New Orleans music and its influence on rhythm and blues, rock and roll, funk and jazz. In the film, she performed "Old Records" with Allen Toussaint. In April 2007, Thomas was honored for her contributions to Louisiana music with induction into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame. Also in 2007, Thomas accepted an invitation to participate in Goin' Home: A Tribute to Fats Domino where, singing with Marcia Ball, she contributed "I Just Can't Get New Orleans Off My Mind". The same year she won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album for After the Rain. In August 2009, a compilation album with three new songs titled The Soul Queen of New Orleans: 50th Anniversary Celebration was released from Rounder Records to commemorate Thomas' 50th year as a recording artist. Thomas was the subject of the 2008 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival poster. She was chosen as the subject before the painting was chosen for the poster. Artist Douglas Bourgeois painted the singer in 2006. In 2010, Thomas rode in the New Orleans parade "Grela". In April that year, Thomas performed at the Corner Hotel, Richmond, Victoria, Australia. In 2011, Thomas performed twice at the Byron Bay Bluesfest in Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia. On April 24, she performed on the Crossroads stage, coming on after Mavis Staples; then on April 25, she headlined the Crossroads stage, coming on after Jethro Tull and Osibisa. In 2013, Thomas was nominated for a Blues Music Award in the "Soul Blues Female Artist" category, which she duly won. She won the same award in 2014. In 2018, Thomas received the Lifetime Achievement Award for Performance at the Americana Music Honors & Awards. On May 2, 2024, Thomas appeared onstage with the Rolling Stones at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival where she and Mick Jagger sang a duet of her 1964 hit song "Time Is On My Side", which the Stones also recorded just months after her version was released. The song was the Stones' first Top Ten American hit, and the Jazz Fest set was the first time that Thomas and the Stones have performed together. Source Wikipedia

Stones: "Happy" with success of their 1st U.S. hit & sales of that song "Time Is On My Side" Irma: should be happy someone covered it , made it a number hit, & ... OH ... the royalties ever after

[@1blastman]

I'm not sure she got any royalties from the song. The composer\ lyricist: Jerry Ragovoy should have rightfully received most of the royalties, but a lot has changed since 1964, when performers were getting ripped off.
