Lead

 * 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.
 * I also don't see a reason why it should be one paragraph. Two paragraphs are better for clarity.-- GoP T C N 10:20, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Background and recording

 * Who exactly is Jim Stewart?
 * Added he was the producer

Release

 * 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

 * 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

 * Source shouldn't be an external link.
 * This is better as placing the same ref all the time


 * I'm not understanding what you mean. Statυs  (talk) 03:26, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Charts

 * 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)
 * 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? -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 22:29, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
