Lead

[edit]
  • King & Queen, released in 1967 by Stax Records, is a duets album by Otis Redding and Carla Thomas, two of the label's most successful artists. --> Odd wording. How about something like: King & Queen is a studio album by American recording artists Otis Redding and Carla Thomas. It was released on March 16, 1967 by Stax Records.
  • Done
  • The LP was Redding's sixth album, and Thomas's fourth, and the final studio album released by Redding before his death. --> The album is Redding's sixth album and Thomas's fourth, and the final studio album released by Redding before his death on December 10, 1967.
Done
  • Marvin Gaye --> link
Done
  • Following Redding's death in December 1967, the single "Lovey Dovey" was also released. --> Released as what?
  • What do you mean?
  • The original LP's --> album's
  • Not sure why this needs a change, but done
  • Don't see a reason the lead should have two paragraphs; they could all fit in one.

Background and recording

[edit]
  • Who exactly is Jim Stewart?
  • Added he was the producer

Release

[edit]
  • Six out of eleven songs were cut during their session; the rest were overdubbed by Redding in the following days owing to their concert obligations. --> Unsourced, and what does this have to do with the album's release?
  • Moved to recording section; it is actually sourced
  • Seems more appropriately entitled "release and promotion", as there's info about singles here.
  • How is this promotion?

Reception

[edit]
  • King & Queen was given a positive critical reception by reviewers. --> King & Queen received generally positive acclaim from music critics.
  • Ok, done. But I am not sure about "positive acclaim"? Acclaim is always positive
  • Jason Ankeny from Allmusic --> Jason Ankeny of Allmusic
  • Done

Personnel

[edit]
  • Source shouldn't be an external link.
  • This is better as placing the same ref all the time

Charts

[edit]
  • Unsourced.
  • Added
  • Billboard --> US Billboard
  • Disagree. It is known that Billboard is the US chart, and it charted only there
  • R&B chart --> Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs
  • The current is better because of consistency
  • Pop chart --> Billboard Hot 100
  • Ditto
  • Pop chart (in albums) --> US Billboard 200
  • Ditto.
  • R&B chart (in albums) --> US Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums
  • Ditto
  • They are different charts, and should be done correctly. There is no such thing as the "Pop chart" and "Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs" and "Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums" are to different things. Statυs (talk) 03:26, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Question: As this album was released in 1967, there was no "hip-hop" chart then nor was there a Billboard 200. If you're going to use the actual name of the charts, shouldn't it be the name of the charts as they were named then? --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 22:29, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

References

[edit]
  • 2 uncatgorized redirects
  • Allmusic is not a magazine, and should not be in italics. Publisher is also missing; Rovi Corporation
  • I deitalicized Allmusic. The publisher is actually not missing
  • Ref 3 --> work is BBC Music, publisher is BBC
  • Ok, done.

  • I'm sorry, but since you have failed to fix the remaining issues that are on the article, I cannot pass this article. I have left you a few notifications on your talk page asking the issues to be fixed, and they haven't been. The last one I stated that I would have to fail the article if they weren't fixed.
