» Review: Candi Staton

A full house aged from 16 to 82 adored her and she paid back in full. Still blessed with an amazing voice she relived the hits like ‘You Got The Love‘ and ‘Nights On Broadway‘. ‘Suspicious Minds‘ was more convincing than Elvis and ‘Stand By Your Man] about strength and understanding not subservience. She inspired with stories of tough times in a man’s world as soul was before, well before Candi and her contemporaries Aretha and Gladys. A great band were joined by the whole crowd for a 20 minute finale – the celebratory ‘Young Hearts Run Free‘. She’s Got The Love!
