Candi Staton Radio Interview Part 1

Part 1 - If you’ve never heard a Real Gospel interview before I invite you to listen to this one! The Legendary & world renowned Candi Staton is my guest and this interview is so telling and revealing it will leave you wanting more. Candi shares her early history from growing up in the church and singing at the age of 5, to sharing stories about her friend Sam Cook and why she ended up years later leaving the church because of being hurt by the people of the church. She walks us through the mistakes she’s made in the world, and shares with us how God led her to now have a global ministry. Her new song, “Put It Back” is a shot in the arm and outside the box in how we hear gospel music today, but that’s why she’s Candi Staton and that’s why we love her! The new project is “It’s time to be Free” and when she’s done explaining how, why, and what this new project is about you won’t be the same. Quick look at her bio:Four-time Grammy® Award nominated singer Candi Staton has sweetly strutted between musical genres such as gospel, southern soul and Americana over the course of her celebrated career. However, danceable music has always been her main groove as she celebrates the 40th and 30th anniversaries respectively of her two biggest radio hits “Young Hearts Run Free” and 1986’s “You Got The Love.” The former is a liberating self-preservation anthem that peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard R&B Singles chart and No. 20 on the Pop chart in 1976 (No. 2 on the UK Pop chart). The latter is an inspiring chant that hit the American R&B Singles chart in 1986 but found greater success in Europe and the United Kingdom in particular where various remixes of it hit the Top 10 Pop Singles chart in 1991, 1997 and again in 2006. Staton has a fresh version of “You Got The Love” bouncing off the concrete walls of clubs throughout Europe as she currently preps a new arrangement of “Young Hearts” for a new generation of fans.An interview you don’t want to miss!!
