Tracey Ullman Breakway (1983)
For some Tracey Ullman trivia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracey_Ullman
An excerpt from the article on Irma Thomas - since the Ullman article doesn't have it:
"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 "I Wish Someone Would Care” (her biggest national hit), its B-side "Break-a-Way” (later covered by Tracey Ullman among others), "Anyone Who Knows What Love Is”, and "Time Is on My Side" (a song previously recorded by Kai Winding, and later by the Rolling Stones)."

I had hoped to find a video with Irma Thomas singing this. The one I did find didn't have very good audio.
