Candi Staton: His Hands (Honest Jons Records/Astralwerks/EMI).(Brief article)
REFERRING TO SINGER CANDI STATON'S six-decade-spanning career as varied would be like calling a dinosaur old. Beginning with her first work as a teenage member of the Jewel Gospel Trio in 1953 (an opening act for Sam Cooke's legendary Soul Stirrers), Staton carved out a distinguished soul career. Backed by Muscle Shoals studio players on Fame records in the 1960s and early '70s, she had a number of successful releases, among them the classic "In The Ghetto." Disco-funk anthems like "Young Hearts Run Free" followed. After a creative dispute with Warner Brothers Records (and a subsequent struggle with alcoholism and an abusive marriage), Staton converted to Christianity in 1982, began hosting a still-running gospel television show and released 10 successful contemporary gospel albums through her Beccarah Ministries label (funded partially by, interestingly enough, Jim and Tammy Faye Baker's PTL Ministries).
