Album Notes & Community Reviews

Billed as the 'Queen of Memphis Soul', Carla Thomas delivered a poised, elegantly arranged set on 'The Queen Alone'. Produced largely by Isaac Hayes and David Porter, the album highlights her crystal-clear vocals against lush orchestrations, proving she could handle sophisticated adult-contemporary soul as effectively as gritty R&B. It remains a testament to her versatility within the Stax roster.
