Classic Album Review: Candi Staton | Candi Staton

The best ’60s Southern soul and R&B singer you’ve never heard finally gets her due.

This came out in 2004 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


THE SKINNY: The most unforgettable ’60s Southern soul and R&B singer you’ve probably never heard finally gets her long-overdue due with this superior 26-track compilation.

THE OLDIES: That’s How Strong My Love Is, I’m Just A Prisoner (Of Your Good Lovin’), Stand By Your Man, In The Ghetto.

THE GOODIES: Since most of Staton’s music has been out of print for decades, this whole disc is a bonus.
