I’ve been listening to early (non-gospel) Candi Staton a lot lately, because it is just. so. fab. Who doesn’t need to hear some gravelly-voiced, steely-souled lady singing about love gone wrong? Add a horn section and it’s just about perfect.
Even if you don’t usually listen to anything I post, I think you should listen to this: there’s an awesome guitar intro, overdriven vocals, that horn section, a really slick modulation at about 1:45–and Candi herself, of course.
I would love to find this on vinyl. My monolithic media cabinet has space for a turntable…
