On May 25th 1967, Carla Thomas recorded a live album at the prestigious Washington D.C. nightspot the Bohemian Caverns. It features a set list containing both her then-smash hit "B-A-B-Y" and sophisticated jazz and American Songbook standards, such as Irving Berlin's "It's a Lovely Day Today," as well as an all-star band led by Donny Hathaway, plus the additional bonus of three songs performed with Thomas's father, the veteran R&B performer Rufus Thomas. In 2007, Stax released this unreleased show on CD for the first time in USA.
