Candi Staton
In 1972, Rick Hall moved distribution of his Fame label from Capitol to United Artists. This was to give his label more heft internationally as well as Stateside. The first single from this new agreement was Candi Statonās āIn The Ghettoā which was released in May 1972. Not only did the single do well, but Staton received a personal note from Elvis Presley telling her how much he had enjoyed her version of the songs.
Two more successful singles ā āLovinā, You, Lovinā Meā and āDo It In The Name Of Loveā ā followed before her third Fame album ā āCandi Statonā ā became the first LP to be distributed under the new agreement with United Artists.
Containing all three singles and B-sides like āDo It In The Name Of Loveā and āThe Thanks I Get For Loving Youā āCandi Statonā is a ten track beauty, a fantastic album and a cornerstone of Southern Soul.
Ace have already reissued Statonās first two Fame albums ā āIām Just A Prisonerā and āStand By Your Manā ā which received rave reviews and put Statonās classic music on the turntables of an old and new generation. This is the third card in that three card trick to complete the series.
With liner notes by our own Ian Shirley and fantastic photos from the FAME archive, āCandi Statonā looks as good as it sounds.
The special album-replica CD version contains liner notes by our own Ian Shirley and fantastic photos from the FAME archive, āCandi Statonā looks as good as it sounds.
Buy it in the name of love.
