African American Music Appreciation Month: Carla Thomas
It’s still June, so it’s still African American Music Appreciation Month, although we’d argue that every month qualifies as African American Music Appreciation Month ‘round the Rhino offices. But let’s not quibble about that, let’s just get to the appreciating! Today we shine the spotlight on Carla Thomas, who kicked off her career with a huge genetic advantage – she’s the daughter of Rufus Thomas – and a heck of a lot of talent and charisma of her own. We’ve pulled together a six-pack of live performances by Ms. Thomas, including a number of her biggest hits, and we’ve also got a playlist available for your listening enjoyment, so watch, listen, enjoy, and repeat!
1. “Gee Whiz”
2. “Comfort Me”
3. “Pick Up the Pieces”
4. “B-A-B-Y” / “Standin’ on Shaky Ground”
5. “Move On Drifter”
6. “When Something Is Wrong With My Baby” (with Sam Moore)
