King & Queen

King & Queen, released in 1967 by Stax Records, is a duets album by Otis Redding and Carla Thomas, two of the label's most successful artists. The LP was Redding's sixth album, and Thomas's fourth, and the final studio album released by Redding before his death. Influenced by Marvin Gaye's duets, the album features ten covers of soul classics and the eleventh finishing song co-written by Redding.
The album includes crossover hits "Tramp" and "Knock on Wood". Following Redding's death in December 1967, the single "Lovey Dovey" was also released. The original LP's liner notes were written by Tennessee Senator Howard H. Baker, Jr.
