I find Candi Staton's classic "Young Hearts Run Free" a little dull and too long. It swings nicely and the horns are catcy but it doesn't REALLY thrill.

YOUR REVIEWS & COMMENTS
A deejay's personal tastes are very important, with experience, he/she's "ear" becomes the most important asset they can have. Sometimes we can dis-like a certain song, but KNOW that the song will be a hit. Some deejays would refuse to play the song, trusting their intuition. I would always watch the Dance Floor, the crowd, then decide whether I should play the song or not.Some deejays didn't like YOUNG HEARTS RUN FREE and refused to play it(can you believe that!). They deprived their crowd of an ALL-TIME DISCO CLASSIC. I wasn't one of them, I loved it the first time I heard it. I got myself a second copy and would enhance it with my LIVE remix. CANDI'S voice took my soul, with her penetrating passion.The music was certainly on par with everything being played in DISCOS at the time, and that combination made this a real crowd favorite. "DULL", it certainly wasn't, in fact, whenever I played it, it gave the room a new, fresh energy."TOO LONG??" The dancers certainly didn't think so, they wanted more, if anything, it wasn't LONG ENOUGH!! My dance floors would increase, the longer it played, thus,the LIVE remix. Then I would mix in RUN TO ME, and do it all over again. Sometimes DESTINY would follow. They couldn't get enough of CANDI STATON. These records lived a long time on my dance floors. Too bad she stopped singing"the Devil's music" and turned her life over to Jesus and dedicated herself to GOSPEL music. While it is "cool" that she found the Lord, it wasn't "cool" that she turned her back, and abandoned what made her a relative Star in the first place, DISCO!! That wasn't bad enough, she publicly attacked it, telling the world how EVIL, the DISCO world was!! She didn't have much of an impact, DISCO , and its relatives, continued to live on. The ultimate result; we can only enjoy what she gave us. With all that said, this album was a solid 10 on my scale!!
