Review by Paul Marselje

When You Move You Lose, the 1964 album by Rufus & Carla Thomas, is a classic example of the soulful rhythm and blues that epitomized the Stax Records sound. This album features the unmistakable voice of Carla Thomas, who delivers powerful and soulful performances on every track. Rufus Thomas, her father, also adds his unique style to the mix with his playful and energetic vocals.

The album opens with the title track, "When You Move You Lose," which sets the tone for the rest of the record with its upbeat tempo and infectious melody. Other standout tracks include "Night Time Is the Right Time," a sultry ballad that showcases Carla's vocal range, and "I Want to Be Your Baby," a heartfelt love song that features Rufus' smooth vocals.

The album is a testament to the Thomas family's musical talent and their ability to create timeless soul music. The arrangements are tight and the musicianship is top-notch, with the Stax house band providing the perfect backdrop for Carla and Rufus' vocals.

This is a song about chess. It's called Zugzwang.

A classic R&B hit from the unforgettable father and daughter duo. Stax over mo-town any day for me. I grew up with both but the stax sound was more R&B.

The cover version by Keith Powell & Billie Davis was better IMHO.
