Candi Staton

Southern soul is back and so is its First Lady - Candi Staton, who racked up 16 grits and gravy R&B/Pop hits between 1969-1974 such as the Grammy-nominated “In the Ghetto” and the swamp boogie of “I’m Just A Prisoner (Of Your Good Lovin’).”

After detours into disco during Jimmy Carter’s administration and a twenty-year return to the gospel of her youth, Staton is back on the path that first established her name.

She’s also back with the follow-up to her acclaimed 2006 Honest Jons/EMI CD His Hands - her first secular LP in 24 years. Featuring tunes by noted songwriters such as Will Oldham, Mary Gauthier, Dann Penn, and Staton herself - the new project Who’s Hurting Now?

In 1991 Candi became the British dance rage as a bootleg of a song she recorded in 1986 entitled "You Got The Love" was remixed and became a Top Ten British hit and sold two million copies. The song was reissued in both 1997 and 2006 and charted in the British Top Ten again each time.
