Product Description

CD Description
Staton has always been a bit of a stylistic chameleon; she's sung straight gospel, southern soul, and R&B versions of country songs, but of course she's best known for her '70s stint as a disco diva. This best-of collection focuses mostly on her dance hits (like the title tune, memorably remade on the soundtrack to the 1996 version of ROMEO AND JULIET with Leonardo Di Caprio). But there's also a previously unreleased cheating song, "He's Making Love to You", that's very muchin her '60s style, and the concluding "Take My Hand, Precious Lord" is as thoroughly churchified as a gospel ballad canget.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rootsy soul and soulful disco, 1 April 2003
By Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
This delightful collection of some of Candi Staton’s best includes deep soul ballads like Here I Am Again, As Long As He Takes Care Of Home and He’s Making Love To You, plus soulful disco like When You Wake Up Tomorrow and Victim, a dancefloor classic that reappears in a new remix every few years. Her greatest hit, Young Hearts Run Free, is a classic pop number with amazing lyrical depth and a wonderful melody. But my favourite here is Honest I Do Love You, a brilliantly arranged slow disco number with beautiful lines like” “I’ve been humming for days/Melodies, some you’ve never heard”. The omission of her Bee Gees composed hit Nights On Broadway is strange, but overall, this album is a great introduction to the work of Staton. It concludes with the gospel song Take My Hand, a reflection of her roots. The CD booklet has a very informative history of her career plus some nice black and white pics. What distinguishes Candi from so many other soul & dance divas of the late 70s and early 80s are her genuinely soulful vocals and especially the intelligence of her songs.
