Carla Thomas "Memphis Queen" 1969

Half recorded in Memphis with the usual stellar Stax crew and half recorded in New York with local session musicians (all overdubbed in Detroit), Memphis Queen finds Thomas and the Stax label in transition...
...Motown alumnus Don Davis handled production, draping many cuts in large, lush orchestral settings. "I Like What You're Doing (To Me)" was a Top Ten R&B hit, and three other tracks had brief chart runs. In 1997, this was reissued on a single-disc CD that also included her 1971 album Love Means. - Review by Rob Bowman
