"B-A-B-Y" #14 11/5/1966

A Top 5 R&B record of Memphis tuneage from Carla Thomas, daughter of Rufus "Walking The Dog" Thomas. Rufus was the MC at a music theater on Beale Street and got his little girl a good start in show biz. This was her first pop hit since "Gee Whiz" in 1960, although she'd had a few R&B hits. Carla later teamed up with the great Otis Redding for a series of successful duets.
