Four-time Grammy Award nominated singer Candi Staton is one of the most enduring yet underrated artists in music. She has sweetly strutted between several musical genres over the course of her celebrated career. However, dance music has always been her main groove as her iconic tracks “Young Hearts Run Free” and the multi-platinum declaration, “You Got the Love” attest. The former is a liberating self-preservation anthem that peaked at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard R&B Singles chart in 1976 (No. 2 on the UK Pop chart). The latter is an inspiring spiritual chant that has, through various remixes, hit the British Top 10 Pop Singles chart in 1991, 1997 and again in 2006 – an amazing feat.
