Irma Thomas - Sugar Pie Honey Bunch

Review by Elton Schivei

Irma Thomas' album, Sugar Pie Honey Bunch, is a delightful collection of soulful tracks that showcase the singer's rich and powerful voice. The album features a mix of original compositions and covers of classic R&B and soul tunes, all of which are given Thomas' signature touch.

One standout track is the title track, "Sugar Pie Honey Bunch," which is a cover of the Four Tops' hit song. Thomas' rendition adds a bit of a bluesy edge to the song, and her soaring vocals give the track a new level of emotional depth.

Another highlight is "I Count the Tears," which was originally recorded by The Drifters. Thomas' version is a slow-burning ballad that allows her to showcase her soulful delivery and expressive phrasing.

Summary by Elton Schivei

Sugar Pie Honey Bunch is a must-listen for fans of classic R&B and soul music. Thomas' powerful vocals and heartfelt interpretations of these timeless songs make this album a true gem.
