Carla Thomas Memphis Queen (LP, Cut-Out)

Reissue 1987 Sealed US stock Cut-Out LP (see photo)

Carla Thomas' Memphis Queen was released by Stax in 1969 and captures an interesting period in the development of her sound. Producer Don Davis gave the album a fuller, more elaborately arranged style that connects the Memphis soul tradition with a more polished pop approach, while Thomas' warm and expressive voice remains at the center. The album contains 12 tracks, including I Like What You're Doing (To Me), I Play For Keeps, Don't Say No More, More Man Than I Ever Had, I've Fallen In Love (With You), He's Beating Your Time, Unyielding, Strung Out, How Can You Throw My Love Away, Guide Me Well, Precious Memories and Where Do I Go?. I Like What You're Doing (To Me) became a Top Ten R&B hit. FOMO for collectors and listeners who appreciate Memphis soul, Southern soul and the distinctive sound of the Stax catalogue.
