Carla Thomas grew up around Memphis's Beale Street entertainment world and sang with WDIA's Teen Town Singers. Early recordings with her father Rufus helped establish the label that became Stax. Her own repertoire included Gee Whiz and B-A-B-Y, while King & Queen paired her with Otis Redding for duets including Tramp. Beyond soul, her live work also drew on pop and jazz standards, reflecting musical interests wider than the singles that first brought her recognition.
