All hail the Queen of Memphis Soul! One of Stax Records' first breakout stars, Carla Thomas was one of the biggest names in soul by the time that she released her fifth LP, "Memphis Queen." Produced by Detroit legend Don Davis, during the 1969 “Soul Explosion,” the album finds Thomas with a richer sound, backed by lush instrumental arrangements. Released in 1969, “Memphis Queen” features Thomas’ Top Ten R&B hit, "I Like What You're Doing To Me."
About Stax Records
Stax Records, now owned by Concord/Craft Recordings, was founded by Jim Stewart in 1957 in Memphis, Tennessee. It rose from a small, family-operated company to become one of the most influential soul music record labels in the world, helping create “The Memphis Sound” and launching the careers of icons such as Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, Booker T. & the M.G.’s, the Staple Singers, Sam & Dave, Rufus and Carla Thomas, The Bar-Kays, and dozens of other artists who helped change popular culture forever. In all, Stax placed 167 hit songs in the Top 100 in Pop and 243 hits in the Top 100 in R&B.
Stax Records works closely with the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, the Stax Music Academy, and The Soulsville Charter School, all operated by the Soulsville Foundation and all located on a vibrant campus at the original site of Stax Records in Memphis, TN.
