Overview Edit

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' fourth, and the final studio album released by Redding before his death.

Included on King & Queen are the significant crossover hits "Tramp" (R&B #2; US #26) and "Knock on Wood" (R&B #8; US #30). Following the December 1967 death of Redding, the single "Lovey Dovey" (R&B #21; US #60) was also released. The original LP's liner notes were written by Tennessee Senator Howard H. Baker, Jr.
