Happy Birthday to the legendary Carla Thomas, our beloved "Queen of Memphis Soul"! Your timeless hits like "Gee Whiz (Look at His Eyes)" and soulful collaborations with Otis Redding have kept us grooving for decades. You've truly set a high note in music history—so much so that even today's artists still try hitting your notes!From captivating audiences throughout the 1960s and '70s to inspiring generations afterward, you've proven soul never goes out of style. May this birthday bring you as many smiles as your songs brought joy—and may nobody dare challenge royalty on her special day!
