  • This is a gem.

  • I love me some Otis Redding but he stole this for Pain In My Heart

  • @MsFrancois1 damn you got internets?

    

  • beautiful!

  • what album can i find this version on??

  • @memolation its on a compilation album called -Saturday Night Fish Fry- which has lots of great tunes on it.

  • @memolation Time is on my side

  • McNulty driving around, looking for Omar. :-)

  • I was wondering earlier, if anyone has ever found love through comments on youtube videos?

    person1: I fucking hate this shit, why the hell would you waste your time and effort posting this bollox, you should fucking die you scum [NOT referring to this song, but most comments I see are anger filled]

    Person2: Oh god, where have you been all my life?

  • Heard this song in 'The Wire' a slice of genius television by David Simon, I highly reccomend it

  • 'Pain in My Heart' made a 1001 Greatest Book by Music Writer Dave Marsh  & while he even acknowledges that Otis Redding'lifted' it from 'Ruler of My Heart' ,he doesn't give it the same reverance. Doesn't explain why either. Makes no sense!! A Great Tune!!

  • What a fabulous song, Irma is beautiful!

  • thanks!

  • Like that picture of the old Walgreens at Canal and Barrone.

  • One of my all-time favourite love songs. I simply love Irma!

  • One of my all-time favourite love songs. I love Irma!

  • I was going to say LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Irma Thomas, but I can see that's not an original comment. What can I say that hasn't been said already (heck--even that's redundant!)? She's just got the REALEST MOST HONEST VOICE IN THE WHOLE WORLD. AND IT'S SWEET! There are singers that I like every bit as much, but--there is none better.

  • Oh my goodness, this is the song from Slow Burn!!!

  • Love love love Irma Thomas! She is just awesome.

  • the wire plays some good r&b

  • She's one of a kind. Thank you.

  • First time i ever heard this! Why didn't someone tell me about this! awsome!

  • loved this song and the pictures of new orleans!

  • A great soul classic from a beautiful performer. New York loves you, New Orleans.

  • made me homesick. xx

  • slick and sassliy coolandthegangtastic fantastic

  • I just discovered this gem of a song and its wonderful singer. Great!!

  • ya thanks for the upload!!

  • Great, great song. I love Irma.

  • Otis Redding would perform it under the title "Pain in my heart" in his debut album.

  • @heaven17 No wonder! I knew this song sounded HELLA familiar! 

  • What can you say about Irma Thomas? She's the pride of New Orleans, a true talent and a wonderful woman. She greets all of us who knew her "way back when" warmly, remembers our names, asks about our families and reminds us why so many of us would never leave despite the trials we've all faced since Katrina blew through! Her recognition & grammy were long over due!

  • thats lovley to know

  • sure

  • Brilliant tune!!!

  • they played this on HBO's the Wire and I've been trying to find it....i love her voice on this version...is this still Irma Thomas (she sounds younger) it should be easy enough to play by ear on the piano

  • love it

  • Beautiful song :) Thank you for uploading it!
