Candi Staton - Life Happens

Lord knows we have all listened to classic soul and said "They don't make records like that anymore." By now most of us also know that these 'rebirth' projects have varying degrees of success, but you need not worry about this one at all == all killer, no filler! YES VIRGINIA They DO still make records like this!!

Candi went back to Rick Hall's Fame studios where she recaptured the lightening in a bottle first minted some 40+ years ago. Sure the years show on her voice, but if anything it makes her even more emotionally powerful. Every song is a jewel, get out your handkerchief because Candi will touch your soul and you WILL shed a tear before the end.

"Candi Staton has always had a knack for finding a place for herself in the music scene. She’s been singing, touring, performing, since her high school days back in the 60’s. She’s sung country, gospel, R&B, disco, and lots of other stuff. But most importantly, she’s one of the defining voices in soul music and has done as much or more than anyone else to sell the world on the magic of soul. Four decades into her career, her voice rings just as true and authentic as it ever has. And she says that every song on Life Happens is a story about her life, with all of its ups and downs, sorrows and joys. It’s all in there and it will make you glad you’ve got soul."
