Customer Reviews:
Finally Reissued on CD!.......2005-12-03
The first album (CANDI) was released in 1974 and was her first album under Warner Bros. records. With CANDI, Ms. Staton was able to have a Top Ten R&B hit (#6) with "As Long As He Take Care of Home" and it included fine songs that were recorded at Muscle Shoals in Alabama. However, it was not a huge success and Candi decided to change producers, because she felt that it would be best to move with someone who was producing more in the disco/urban soul area. With that in mind, she recorded her next album (YOUNG HEARTS RUN FREE -1976) with David Crawford. YOUNG HEARTS RUN FREE also brought Candi a new change, recording in Los Angeles, California. With new musical styles chosen, Candi finally hit the top of the charts, with the title track reaching #1 on the R&B charts and making it to #20 on the Pop Charts.
The following year 1977, Candi recorded MUSIC SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS with producer Bob Monaco (who was well known for his work with Rufus). In MUSIC SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS, the songs had a more pop/rock feel to it and provided Candi with a slightly different sound. However it was not as big of a hit as YOUNG HEARTS RUN FREE. But my favorite songs on MUSIC SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS are "You Are", "When You Want Love", her soulful interpretations of the Doobie Brothers' hit "Listen To The Music" and the Bee Gees' "Nights On Broadway", and the very feel good instrumental "Cotton Candi". The latter is a wonderful instrumental that is very reminiscent of the mid 70s and reminds of what it must have been like to hear something like that in a department store. Overall both albums are wonderful and showcases Candi in two different styles of music.
Now all we need to make Candi's Warner Bros. years complete are CHANCE (1979) and CANDI STATON (1980). With CHANCE, Candi went for the big disco sound and with her self-titled album we get a wonderful sound of urban soul with quiet storm thrown in. My favorite Candi Staton album while she was at Warner Bros. is CANDI STATON. So hopefully David Nathan will release those two fine albums on CD as well!! That will make the collection complete!!!
