Carla Thomas - The Queen Alone (1967)

Six of the songs on The Queen Alone were written, either partially or entirely, by the team of Isaac Hayes and David Porter, who were riding high in the midst of their successes with Sam And Dave. They add their magic touch to such songs as "Stop Thief" and "When Tomorrow Comes," which, with its tambourine and prominent bass line, could easily be mistaken for a Supremes classic.

It is on the ballads where Thomas shines. Her sweet voice was always best suited for the poppier side of soul, and her vocals on the Bacharach-David song "Any Day Now" and the Dusty Springfield hit, "All I See Is You" show her ease with a soaring melody. "I'll Always Have Faith In You" and "Unchanging Love" are classic Stax ballads in 12/8 time, complete with Steve Cropper's trademark guitar fills.
