    Famed for her disco anthem Young Hearts Run Free, three times Grammy nominated Southern Soul and Disco diva.

    Born in Hanceville, AL, Candi Stanton sang with the Jewell Gospel Trio as a teenager. They toured the traditional gospel circuit in the 1950s with the Soul Stirrers, Aretha Franklin, and Mahalia Jackson and recorded several sides for Nashboro, Apollo, and Savoy Records between 1953 and 1963.

    In 1968 Staton launched her solo career as a Southern soul stylist, garnering 16 R&B hits for Rick Hall's legendary Fame Studios and gaining the title of First Lady of Southern Soul for her Grammy-nominated R&B renditions of country tunes, Stand by Your Man and In the Ghetto.

    In 1975 Staton saw Southern soul falling out of fashion and began collaborating with producer Dave Crawford, who propelled her into a disco diva with dance songs such as Young Hearts Run Free and Victim.

    In 1982 Staton had become disgruntled with Warner Brothers' passing interest in her career, so she returned to the gospel field. She and her husband, John Sussewell (drummer for Ashford & Simpson), founded Beracah Ministries in Atlanta with help from Jim and Tammy Bakker's PTL Ministries. She has since recorded eight popular gospel albums, two of which have won Grammy nominations.

    In 1992 she was back in the pop mainstream with a Top Ten British hit, You Got the Love, a club-styled dance hit which sold two million copies abroad.

    Since joining Intersound Records in 1995, Staton has begun to sing some of her old R&B hits again and recorded some new message-oriented pop songs while gaining a new title, the Sweetheart of Soul.

    In 2004 Astralwerks / Honest Jon / EMI released Candi Staton a 26-song collection featuring Staton’s gritty Top Ten R&B hits for Fame records. The CD was hailed as a treasure chest & subsequently was chosen as Top Ten re-issue by Rolling Stones, Downbeat and Tracks magazine.


    "Staton deserves to be right up there alongside Aretha and Gladys in the soul pantheon" Mojo

    "A compelling voice of elegant sensuality and subtle emotional power." The Independent
