Candi Staton: Young Hearts Run Free (Warner Bros. K56259)
John Abbey, Blues & Soul, 13 July 1976
WELL, IF ever an artist(e) was deserving of success, then that role belongs to the ever-lovely Ms. Candi Staton. Over the past half decade, she has consistently turned in brilliant if not outstanding singles and albums and, other than via her loyal soul root following, she has been received with little or no pop acclaim at all... til today, folks, and you'll no doubt have noted that Candi's stupendous single of 'Young Hearts Run Free' has been the longest serving British No. 1 since we went to a weekly format.
