“In between ‘Gee Whiz’ and ‘A Love Of My Own’, it pretty much took Carla Thomas less than half a year to establish herself as, perhaps, the single most exciting fresh female presence on the soul/R&B scene from that period”
Wow! Now that was a surprise. I think you had some good things to say about this album the first time you reviewed her discography, but that review you had, at best, lukewarm or neutral reception. Now it sounds like you are quite a fan of this album! Was it just more listens were in order?
I’ve only heard “Gee Whiz” from the Atlantic compilation, but I’ve always absolutely love the giddy romance and power of that song. Will check this album out then, thanks!
