│║ ║│
│║ Although Carla Thomas had her share of R&B hits in the 1960s, ║│
│║ the Queen of Memphis Soul wasn't as visible on the pop charts ║│
│║ as Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick or Gladys Knight. Thomas wasn't ║│
│║ a superstar in the pop world, but Stax's Al Bell ║│
│║ believed she had the potential to become one and encouraged her ║│
│║ to take a sleeker, more Motown-ish approach. Thomas had flirted ║│
│║ with Northern soul sounds on some of her previous albums, and it ║│
│║ became a primary direction on the LPs Memphis Queen and its ║│
│║ follow-up Love Means..., which Fantasy combined on this single CD ║│
│║ in 1997. Most of Queen was produced by Detroiter Don Davis, while ║│
│║ the main producer on the even more pop-minded Love was Thomas' ║│
│║ brother, Marvelle Thomas. Though this change of direction didn't ║│
│║ turn Thomas into a pop superstar, she did have a major hit in ║│
│║ "I Like What You're Doing (To Me)" and moderate hits with "You've ║│
│║ Got a Cushion to Fall On" and "Guide Me Well." The soul goddess ║│
│║ had a low opinion of Davis' production style, but the fact is ║│
│║ that "Precious Memories," "Strung Out Over You" and other Davis- ║│
│║ produced ║│
│║ material is highly enjoyable. And the songs from Love are equally ║│
│║ impressive. But sadly, Love turned out to be Thomas' final Stax ║│
│║ project. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide ║│

│║ 24 bit remastered, digipak French reissue of 1969 album for the ║│
│║ 'Queen of Memphis Soul', originally released on Stax. ║│
