1967
In Memphis, while home for the Christmas holiday in 1966, Carla Thomas, Stax's ranking female artist, recorded an album with Otis Redding called King and Queen. Album concepts were then in vogue, and Stax's owner, Jim Stewart, had the idea of pairing his leading vocalists. Thomas was apprehesive about the project, but as she recalled. "I just talked with Otis and he just said, "Well, hey you from Memphis, you from Tennessee, you can hang.' We just ad-libbed and it came off great.

1967
Carla Thomas remembers that there were plans to record a duet album with Otis Redding each subsequent Christmas. But these plans were never realized. On December 10,1967, the light aircraft carrying Redding and most of the Bar-Kays crashed into frozen Lake Monono in Wisconsin. Suddenly, the pop events of 1967 seemed as though they had occurred years ago.

GO LOGAN..The anti-Christ is among us
In the summer of 1967, Tammi Terrell fainted into the arms of Marvin Gaye on a concert stage in Virginia during their performance of Your Precious Love.Terrell's collapes marked the beginning of the end for perhaps the most scintillating male-female vocal duo in pop history. She was diagnosed as suffering from a brain tumor and died in 1970 at the age of 24. Before her death, she recorded a number of sumptuosly romantic duets with Gaye in which the two achieved such a passionate rapport that listeners could only conclude they were lovers.Actually, Terrell was involved with David Ruffin of the Temptations, not Gaye.
