That record established the teenage Carla - who frequently wrote her own songs as well as performing them - as one of the foremost soul ladies of the whole of that decade, and well into the next one. She was a big star in soul circles, and possibly could have been an even bigger one had she not made her studies a priority over her music career. This new Jasmine collection brings together every recording that Carla made during her formative years as Memphis' Princess Of Soul - her first album in it's entirety and in stereo where possible, plus a number of single only tracks and mono single mixes, including four duets with her equally famous father Rufus Thomas. Many of these were also a hit on either the Pop or R\u0026amp;B charts, and frequently on both! Needless to say, as with all Jasmine packages it's beautifully remastered from the best available sources. Carla stopped recording in 1975, but she will always be revered among soul fans for the work she did in helping to make Memphis the epicentre of 60s soul music in the American South. She returned to performing in 2017 and still features many of the songs in this collection in her shows today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Gee Whiz (Look at His Eyes) \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Dance with Me \u003cbr\u003e1.3 A Lovely Way to Spend An Evening \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Your Love Indeed \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Fools Fall in Love \u003cbr\u003e1.6 To the Aisle \u003cbr\u003e1.7 (I'm Afraid) the Masquerade Is Over \u003cbr\u003e1.8 A Love of My Own \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Promises \u003cbr\u003e1.10 It Ain't Me \u003cbr\u003e1.11 For You \u003cbr\u003e1.12 The Love We Shared \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Wish Me Good Luck (Mama Mama) \u003cbr\u003e1.14 In Your Spare Time (Please Think of Me) \u003cbr\u003e1.15 I Kinda Think He Does \u003cbr\u003e1.16 I'll Bring It on Home to You \u003cbr\u003e1.17 I Can't Take It \u003cbr\u003e1.18 Cause I Love You - Carla and Rufus \u003cbr\u003e1.19 Deep Down Inside - Carla and Rufus \u003cbr\u003e1.20 I Didn't Believe - Rufus and Friend \u003cbr\u003e1.21 Yeah Yee-Ah - Rufus and Friend \u003cbr\u003e1.22 I'm Afraid (The Masquerade Is Over) \u003cbr\u003e1.23 A Love of My Own \u003cbr\u003e1.24 Promises (Alternate Version with Double Tracked Vocal)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
