Candi Staton.......2007-06-08

The best of Candi Staton's cd is very, very good. I love listening to all the songs. My favorite is "Young hearts run free". Her other 2 hits "Victim" and "When you wake up tomorrow" are nice songs to dance to.

She's Not No J-Lo, Mary J. Blige or Janet Jackson!.......2006-02-18

These Girls cannot out do Candi Staton, She's the best, I was a child back in the 70's went Young Hearts,Run Free & Victim first came out. I have both of her old 45's Records. I just purchase The Best Of Candi Staton. I listened to samples off her greatest hits.It sounds pretty good. I can't wait to get my copy. Forget Jennifer Lopez because she cannot sings and dance, Mary J.Blige is pretty good, Janet Jackson is okay but she sounds like a winey cat sometimes.

Back in the day..........2005-06-18

When I was under age and sneaking into the gay bars of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, I heard "Young Hearts, Run Free" and "Victim" and fell in love with these songs. I never knew who the artist was until I found Candi Staton here on amazon. I bought this Warner Archives release and only listened to those two songs...over & over! Finally I listened to the rest of the cd. WOW! What a great find. I recommend it. Nice mix of old school funk, disco, and ballads.

Candi - The Voice of Conscience.......2004-12-08

I am a native of Newark, N.J. I remember Saturday evenings, as a child, sitting on the front porch of my house on the southside, listening to 92WKTU's Chep Pedibone, Frankie Knuckles or Live radio mixes from Club Zanzibar's very own Tony Humphries. They would play disco, house and club in such a way one can only make sure they had enough 90min blank tapes available for recording. Then, from a slight distance you can hear the intro to "Victim" being faded in. Enters Candi; the voice of passion, feeling. She carries a song with the vibe preacher giving a sermon about experiences in life and love. From Young Hearts Run Free to When You Wake Up Tomarrow Candi has been there did that. You do not want to miss this one...

Unbelieveable greatest from the FIRST goddess of disco!.......2003-08-14

To find these songs on one collection after all these years is amazing! When You Wake up Tomorrow ... in all of it's 7 &1/2 minute glory at that ... just pure heaven! Also just nearly as good ... Victim , with it's 8 minute anthem version ... also pure heaven!

Every song on this amazing album is just terrific. From start to finish, a complete winner. Check out the booklet for a very eye-opening look inside Candi's life. Every song here has become a favorite for me ... hopefully they all will for you too!

Never gets old.......2007-04-18

This is, by far, the best Candi Staton CD out. "I'm Just a Prisoner" stops you dead in your tracks (or makes you want to dance). Good luck finding another CD with that song along with several other of her greatest works!

What a voice!.......2006-04-18

What a woman with a razor sharp voice. Listen to the music with heart because Candi Staton puts her heart & soul into every song on this album. I have never heard an album were every song is just as good as the last one. Listen to track #9 I played it over, over, and over again. When I listen to Candi Staton I clear my mind and just listen to her pipes.

Etta, Irma, Otis, ... , now Candi. Old is new & all is better for it!.......2006-03-23

Blessed mix of new and old, known and unknown. I feel like a kid with a new Erector set full of familiar parts-soulful gospel lead vocals, charted horns sweeping in like precision cavalry, choreographed back-up singers in perfect step, Memphis players who have played together so long they work inside each others' hooks (note, however, that this is FAME in Muscle Shoals, but Stax), and all manner of pop accessories-that have been disassembled from old classics-Etta, Irma, Otis, James Carr, ...-and reassembled in fresh forms that bring late Southern soul (c. 1970) back to life in high-quality performances that I have never heard before. Old is new and all is better for it! Stand-out: tr 3-I'd rather be an old man's sweetheart (clear, unexpected ode to a December-May pairing). [74:18]

Candi's classic years.......2006-01-27

Candi Staton is perhaps best known today for a couple of big disco tunes, Young Hearts Run Free and You Got The Love, but before those she had enjoyed a big run of southern soul hits, all recorded at Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals AL with producer Rick Hall. They have the classic gritty Muscle Shoals sound with big, fat lithe horns and female choruses, and dissect the seamier side of life with titles like I'd Rather Be An Old Man's Sweetheart (Than A Young Man's Fool), Mr And Mrs Untrue and Another Man's Woman, Another Woman's Man.
Candi had grown up singing, first in the church choir as a schoolgirl, and in gospel groups from the age of eight onwards, later touring with Aretha, Mahalia Jackson, Sam Cooke and others, and had no difficulty whatsoever in switching to the rhythm and blues and country soul she recorded for Fame. Her naturally sweet voice was deliberately given a hoarser edge by Rick Hall through over singing to get the soulful effect he desired. Country music was as big in Alabama as soul so it was unsurprising that Candi should have hits with her heartfult interpretations of Stand By Your Man and In The Ghetto.
This collection gathers most of the best of the classic recordings she made with the Muscle Shoals crew between 1969 and 1973, and which had been overlooked for far too long. They are not presented in chronological order and the notes are very hazy as to what was recorded when, and which of them were singles and which were album cuts. Eight A-sides and nine B-sides are actually included, with all but one A-side (Love Chain, from 1973) and three B-sides (tracks 13, 19 and 26) also appearing on her first three albums.
In fact, the first two albums are present in full. I'm Just A Prisoner (1969) can be recreated by programming tracks 5, 3, 15, 2, 9, 10, 6, 1, 7 and 22, while Stand By Your Man (1971) comprised tracks 12, 17, 1 (again), 16, 14, 8, 9, 18, 20 and 23. Her third album, Candi Staton (1972) is represented by tracks 21, 4, 15 and 25.

SOUTHERN SOUL SUNG WITH CONVICTION.......2005-12-03

Candi Staton is my favorite soul singer of all time! During the time that Candi was with FAME Records, she recorded three albums (I'M JUST A PRISONER, STAND BY YOUR MAN, and CANDI STATON) and managed to have a Top 40 Pop hit (#24) with her soulful interpretation of Tammy Wynette's "Stand By Your Man" in 1971. Other hits included the Top Ten R&B hit "I'd Rather Be An Old Man's Sweetheart (Than A Young Man's Fool)", "He Called Me Baby", another soulful interpretation of Elvis Presley's "In The Ghetto" (which she received a Grammy nomination and even got a congratulatory note from the King of Rock himself!)

This collection of Candi's FAME material showcases southern soul at its best. All of these songs were superbly accompanied by astounding musicianship and were sung with strong conviction by Candi. Her voice is real and you can hear in each song some kind of experience that she must have been going through at the time in order for her to make the song come alive. To my amazement, this collection is missing the wonderful "Do It in the Name of Love" which was a Top 20 R&B hit in 1973.

However, these songs are masterpieces of the late 60s/early 70s southern soul era. Anyone who loves southern soul, will definitely enjoy this collection of Ms. Staton's FAME material. Personally, I enjoy her Warner Bros. material more, because I like urban soul/quiet storm grooves, but her earlier work is what she is critically known for. Overall, this album deserves an excellent rating and if I could, I would give it 100 stars.

Talk about a comeback. The former first lady of Southern soul, now 66, reaches back to her secular heyday for In His Hands, a chronicle of hurt so drenched in raw feeling you can practically wring out the sweat and tears. This is music as time-travel: like Sharon Jones of Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings or Bettye Lavette, Staton flouts the rules of modern music-making--nothing flashy here, no tarted-up beats or slick come-ons--in favor of sending her listeners to somewhere deep in the trenches of a heart that--despite it all--refuses to frost over. The wrenching title track tears the no-trespassing sign off the topic of domestic abuse with transcendent honesty, and "In Name Only," a love song, rips delicately at the seams of the soul. Seven of these 11 tracks are covers, but Staton's gift for interpretation and her gloriously clawed-up voice renders them instantly, powerfully her own. In His Hands adds up to a stroke of genius on the part of the normally electro-oriented Astrelwerks label. Look for other forward-thinking, hip purveyors of music to follow suit, unleashing decades' worth of soul on the world. --Tammy La Gorce

Album Details

Candi Returns to her Southern R&b, Blues, Soul and Country Roots with her First Secular Recordings Since 1982's 'nitelites' LP on Sugarhill Records. These Recordings Are Very Reminiscent of her Classic Late Sixties / Early Seventies Muscle Shoals Recordings that were Reissued as 'candi Staton' in 2004 to Rave Reviews. A Must of Any Fan.

Hers is a Godly Gift .......2007-05-11

The great female song-interpreters of the 1970s - like Candi Staton, Tracy Nelson, and Ann Peebles - tend to be overlooked in favour of their more famous female singer-songwriter counterparts. But their contribution is just as fine, especially when they choose their material wisely.

After such a long break in recording, you would have to have quite conservative expectations of any Candi Staton comeback. But you would be wrong. This one is as good as and better than her 1974 classic "Candi".

Candi's son, daughter and sister make their backing contributions and she herself chips in with four originals. There's not really a dud moment in Mark Nevers' (of Lambchop) scholarly production, but the Will Oldham penned title track is a knockout choice. A great talent fills up your heart, her godly gift retained, against all the betting odds.

Lord have MERCY..............2007-02-15

IMAGINE COLLARD GREENS SLOW COOKING ON THE STOVE, A FEW BLACK LOVE INCENSE BURNING IN THE LIVING ROOM ,BIG MAMA SITTING ON THE PORCH SNAPPING GREEN BEANS, BIG BERTHA YELLING OUT OF HER SCREEN DOOR FOR HER KIDS TO COME INSIDE AND JUNEBUG AND HIS CREW PLAYING DICE ON THE CORNER....

WELL THAT'S WHERE THIS ALBUM WILL TAKE YOU.... WHERE LIFE WAS SO FULL OF SOUL YOU COULD ALMOST TASTE IT...CANDI STATON BY FAR IS ONE OF THE MOST SOULFUL FEMALE SINGERS OF THIS 21ST CENTURY. ALTHOUGH MY IDOL ARETHA WAS CROWNED THE QUEEN OF SOUL AND DESERVEDLY SO... CANDI STATON ALONG WITH MAVIS STAPLES HAS TRULY GIVEN ARETHA A RUN FOR HER MONEY. YOU SHOULD RUN... NOT WALK.... AND PICK UP A COPY OF "HIS HANDS" FROM START TO FINISH THIS ALBUM IS DRENCHED IN HOT-BUTTERED- MISSISSIPPI-SHO'NUFF-SOUL.... WHILE LISTENING TO THIS ALBUM YOU WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO TIME AND PLACE WHERE SINGERS HAD TO SANG... NOT SING, WHAT SO AMAZING IS THE FACT THAT THIS ALBUM WAS RECORDED LAST YEAR

A Stax Retro.......2006-08-24

Listening to this wonderful, joyous album really felt like a blast back to the early 1970's on Stax Records, with those great singers singing and the Memphis Horns playing. Remember those great albums by Otis Redding, The Staple Singers, Albert Collins and Albert King? (Albert King's "I'll Play the Blues for You" on Stax--oh, yeah!!)

This album is exactly like that. Ammy notes a bookend album of Bettye Lavette's "I've Got My Own Hell to Raise." A great album: but that one evokes Tina Turner in her prime. This one is more like Mavis Staples.

All of the songs are unfamiliar to me by title, but they all sound familiar. One of them (track #7) has licks that sound an awful lot like Dylan's "I Shall Be Released." I almost downgraded the rating to 4 stars on account of that.

But I couldn't do that, ultimately. All of these songs are tight and swinging, and Ms. Staton sounds every bit the confident soul diva that Gladys Knight and Mavis Staples were in their primes. Most importantly, this album had me smiling and clapping throughout. 4-star albums don't do that to me. 5-star albums do. RC

Wow! They don't make records like this anymore!.......2006-08-21

Mind you, this is the best blues/soul record since the untimely passing of Luther Allison, and everything about it speaks of a quality that you don't find in the aesthetics of many others making records these days. For one thing, the rootsy feel of the band harkens back to Muscle Shoals, to Booker T, to Otis Redding. These are deeply, deeply soulful players and singers who are committed to themusic. And with Commitment, all the rules change.
Staton has a voice so authentic that it makes all the caterwauling histrionics you haer from all the ballyhoo-ed divas seem so amateurish. In short, she is the genuine article. I can't think of another singer who commands such authority in her voice in the blues/soul/r n b world as Staton. And as chief architect and writer of most of the material herein, she has set herself apart from everyone else in this branch of music: this is as fine as it gets, the work of a consummate professional.
So why not 5 stars? Well, there is a monotony to the themes of the songs. They all deal with the devastation she feels from a failed marriage. And while I know that the pain is real, by the seventh track I found myself correctly guessing the lyrics and the rhythm patterns. A bit of variety in subject matter would have elevated this to possibly the best blues vocal record ever.
That's quibbling, and I know it. Her pain is palpable and real, and I mean no disservice to her emotions. But still, she must think about something else from time to time....
Regardless, while you may not listen all the way through every time, you will come back to this CD many, many times throughout the rest of your life. Superb!

TRIUMPHANT RETURN TO SOUL FOR MS. STATON!.......2006-07-20

Well what can I say about Candi Staton's new album HIS HANDS?! It never ceases to amaze me that when I listen to a Candi Staton album, she always has a way of hitting the head of the nail on issues that affect everyday people.

I was thrilled to find out that she was recording an album that would resurrect the sound she made famous when she was with FAME records in the late 60s and early 70s. When I first listened to this album, immediately I could understand the emotions and heartache that must have inspired Ms. Staton to sing with such conviction! My favorite song has to be "When Will I?" and it's such an inspiring song. My favorite line is "I see a lonely sparrow fly, and I wonder, when will I?"......reminiscent of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." The title track is shivering with vocals that hits the core of the human condition. Overall what an awesome album! It is also nice to note that Candi is receiving rave reviews, which she greatly deserves! I have been a fan for many years now and I hope that the rest of the world will come to realize what a great singer she is!

Is this a different version?.......2005-04-09

I ordered the Outside In (Uk Import) from Amazon and just received an email saying that they are unable to get it from any of their suppliers. I have a dance version of "You Got The Love" on a Club Classics CD that I have but if I remember correctly the Sex & The City version was a slower version? I'm looking everywhere for this album and wonder if I should even bother or is the version I already have the same one that's on the Outside In album (it's the Source mix version)? Does anyone know?

Fear Not! Can Be Got!.......2004-03-16

It's quite odd that Amazon has no stock on this item as of this writing, since it is IN PRINT and readily available on ZYX label's web site (Amazon edited the link out of my review; do a web search instead). But the Now Voyager mix of "You Got the Love" (the one used on "Sex and the City") is available in all its glory on Candi Staton's "Outside In" album (UK Import Version), which is available here at Amazon for a decent price -- and it's a terrific album with a number of other great dance tracks. Beware, the Japanese import of "Outside In" does NOT have "You Got The Love," so go for the UK version on the React label.

This song is also available on.......2004-03-12

Ministry of Sound Dance Nation 3.

It's a version of the Now Voyager mix on the Pete Tong disc and mixed between Remember Me/Blueboy and Take California/Propellerheads but still amazing and worth tracking down (I note that 2 copies are available through Amazon at this writing).

Awesomely, Totally Soul!.......2003-08-13

Glad that am finally re-united with Candi... I searched and searched for Candi within Zambia, in South Africa, Germany - everywhere I went it was always "no longer available." Then a kind friend in the US agreed to purchase it for me off Amazon - and now my juices are running amok! Am listening to "Honest I Do" right now and, man, it turns me inside out! If you let the golden silky soul voice of Candi wash over you, you will experience a thorough re-baptism of what it used to be back then! I have missed and thirsted for this music for some twenty years, and now am totally quenched, it's a top thrill! Quite a fine balance between the mid-tempo dance tunes (touting the two giants Young Hearts and Victim) and the slower, easier cascades like Will I Ever Get Over It and Destiny.

If you love soul, and above all if you ever loved Candi, waste no more time - go for it!!

An Awesome Soul Singer!.......2003-02-06

Wow! That is all I have to say about Candi Staton. When I purchased this album, I was already familiar with the classic song, "Young Hearts Run Free". Listening to these two albums in their entirety has given me the true meaning of what urban soul/quiet storm sounded like back in the day of the mid 70s to the mid 80s. This fine singer showcases fine vocals on such songs as "Living For You", "Yesterday Evening", "What A Feeling", and the amazing, "Precious Lord". Now I am wondering, why wasn't she as big as other soul divas such as Diana Ross, Donna Summer, or Gloria Gaynor? Another thing to point out.....why didn't Warner Bros. (the original label) reissue these two fine albums any sooner.

To any lover of soul music, you have got to add this combination of classic albums to your collection! Also check out Ms. Staton's new gospel album, PROVERBS 31 WOMAN, which is a good collection of gospel tunes.

FINALLY.......CANDI STATON ALBUMS REISSUED!!.......2003-01-07

Finally, two of Candi Staton's Warner Bros. albums have been reissued! This is a real treat for all Candi Staton fans. These albums have been out of print for a long time and have been long overdue for a reissue. It kind of disappoints me that Warner Bros. did not do the reissue. Thanks to Spy Records, a lot of Candi Staton fans can enjoy listening to YOUNG HEARTS RUN FREE and HOUSE OF LOVE. The sound of these two albums is incredibly clear and crisp. I have both of these albums on vinyl and this reissue certainly does the quality of these two albums justice! My favorite songs have to be "Living For You", "Yesterday Evening", "I Wonder Will I Ever Get Over It", and "What A Feeling". The reissue also includes liner notes by David Nathan, which gives a closer insight on the two albums and even includes an interview with Ms. Staton herself.
