Best From Artist 32 - Candi Staton

Ok. I don't think I fucked up this time even though I'm doing this at the midnight hour when I said I wouldn't. :-? I checked my list and I don't see Candi Staton on it anywhere.
I know this will seem like another obvious paul pick but damn it, if it's good, why fight it. :lol: My choice having said that is "Young Hearts Run Free."

Dear Paul!
I think my favorites are "Victim" and "Rock".
Cosmic Love & Kisses From SIRIUS & DARKTUNES
"Nights On Broadway" is also a very good song from her
(Is there a long version existing???)

My no. 1 pick from Candi is "When You Wake Up Tomorrow". "Victim" and "Young Hearts" are fine too, and then there's a little gem from 1979, an Ashford & Simpson tune called "Rough Times". Short (just 2:44) but sweet... It's on the flip side of the "When You Wake Up..." 12-incher.

And oh yeah, I've too always wondered if there is an extended version of "Nights On Broadway"!

Hi Paul

I've never had a problem with the artists that you pick, its interesting to see who will come next. I must say that you haven't mentioned any Eurodisco artists in a loooooooonnnnggg time :-? :) .

As far as Candi Stanton goes, my favorite is "Wake Up Tomorrow" and "Young Hearts Run Free" in 2cd place.

*DISCO DELIGHT*

I was crazy about Victim until it became an overplayed drag song. I with Hustlebaby, just have to reverse the order so Young Hearts... is number one and Wake Up Tomorrow is number two.

For some pre-disco Candi, check out I'm Just a Prisoner, her mid to late '60's lp. This is Candi at her roots, the Alabama girl singing sweet blues and soul.

"Nights On Broadway"/Candi Staton, only 3:30 in my records, no extended version until now!

Give a chance to "Listen To The Music"/Candi Staton, 4:25, disco !!!, Do you remember this The Doobie Brothers' song (1972) ?

I can't believe that I never posted in this thread years back. Now it goes like this. "When You Wake Up Tomorrow" then "Young Hearts Run Free" when I play the first one to much.... then visa versa..

choosing between these songs is like choosing between "From East To West" or "Souvenirs"

it's hard!!!!
