Candi Staton (born Canzetta Maria Staton on March 13, 1940, in Hanceville, Alabama) is an American gospel singer. She is best known for her disco hit

Young Hearts Run Free and dance hit

You Got The Love.

Staton sang with the Jewell Gospel Trio as a teenager before launching a solo career in 1968. She had 16 R&B hits for Fame Studios and received Grammy nominations for cover versions of country standards. In 1975 she started working with disco producer Dave Crawford and had hits “Young Hearts Run Free” and “Victim”.

In 1982 she returned to gospel forming Beracah Ministries with her husband John Sussewell. In 1991 she had a top 10 UK hit as The Source featuring Candi Staton with dance track “You Got The Love”.

In 2004 when Sex and the City ended its successful six-year run, the last song played on that show was “You Got the Love” with Sarah Jessica Parker walking down New York City streets and talking about the endless relationship with herself.

I may have said this before, and I'll prolly say it again, but I just love this woman's voice! Someone, possibly someone quite young, said, "she sounds like Gladys Knight." Uh-Huh sweety! These two Soul legends have their own distinctive voices, and could never be confused by true listeners.
