This doesn't mean she didn't bring the soul, though; she could | | more than hold her own in duets with Otis Redding, after all. | | | | This well-chosen set (Motown's Mable John made the selection) covers | | tracks recorded between 1960 and 1972 at Stax, and includes Thomas' | | magnificent cover of Barbara Lynn's "You'll Lose a Good Thing," the | | sensual and absolutely glorious "Sugar," and a pair of Thomas' | | biggest hits, "Gee Whiz (Look at His Eyes)" - she was still a teen | | when she recorded it - and "I Like What You're Doing (To Me)." | | Somehow managing to sound sweet, innocent, wounded, worldly, sensual, | | and seductive by turns on these tracks (and sometimes all at once), | | Thomas is undoubtedly one of the greatest singers to ever come out of | | the Stax studios, and that's saying something. | | | | Personnel: | | Carla Thomas - vocals | | David Spinozza, Michael Toles, Sandra Rhodes, Carl Lynch, Ray | | Monette - guitar | | The Memphis Horns - horns | | Marvell Thomas - piano | | Rudy Robinson, Booker T.
