In between the years 1960 thru 1966, Carla Thomas had made quite an impression on the music industry and Stax Records. She had 22 singles on the national charts, including "I'll Bring It on Home to You" (an answer to Sam Cooke's "Bring It on Home to Me"), "Let Me Be Good to You", and Isaac Hayes' "BABY". In 1967, she scored yet another hit "I Will Always Have Faith In You". This record placed #11 on the R&B Chart further making the "Queen of Memphis Soul" in greater demand for special performances around the US Carla Thomas cut two very impressive albums in 1967. "King & Queen" and "The Queen Alone". Shortly after recording the single "I'll Always Have Faith In You", She gave a rousing performance in late May which was also recorded while she was on stage called "Live At the Bohemian Caverns". For the year of 1967, Thomas recorded and released six singles. Two of them were duets with Otis Redding, "Tramp" and "Knock On Wood".
