5 out of 5 stars Awesomely, Totally Soul!.......2003-08-13

Glad that am finally re-united with Candi... I searched and searched for Candi within Zambia, in South Africa, Germany - everywhere I went it was always "no longer available." Then a kind friend in the US agreed to purchase it for me off Amazon - and now my juices are running amok! Am listening to "Honest I Do" right now and, man, it turns me inside out! If you let the golden silky soul voice of Candi wash over you, you will experience a thorough re-baptism of what it used to be back then! I have missed and thirsted for this music for some twenty years, and now am totally quenched, it's a top thrill! Quite a fine balance between the mid-tempo dance tunes (touting the two giants Young Hearts and Victim) and the slower, easier cascades like Will I Ever Get Over It and Destiny.

If you love soul, and above all if you ever loved Candi, waste no more time - go for it!!

5 out of 5 stars An Awesome Soul Singer!.......2003-02-06

Wow! That is all I have to say about Candi Staton. When I purchased this album, I was already familiar with the classic song, "Young Hearts Run Free". Listening to these two albums in their entirety has given me the true meaning of what urban soul/quiet storm sounded like back in the day of the mid 70s to the mid 80s. This fine singer showcases fine vocals on such songs as "Living For You", "Yesterday Evening", "What A Feeling", and the amazing, "Precious Lord". Now I am wondering, why wasn't she as big as other soul divas such as Diana Ross, Donna Summer, or Gloria Gaynor? Another thing to point out.....why didn't Warner Bros. (the original label) reissue these two fine albums any sooner.

To any lover of soul music, you have got to add this combination of classic albums to your collection! Also check out Ms. Staton's new gospel album, PROVERBS 31 WOMAN, which is a good collection of gospel tunes.

5 out of 5 stars FINALLY.......CANDI STATON ALBUMS REISSUED!!.......2003-01-07

Finally, two of Candi Staton's Warner Bros. albums have been reissued! This is a real treat for all Candi Staton fans. These albums have been out of print for a long time and have been long overdue for a reissue. It kind of disappoints me that Warner Bros. did not do the reissue. Thanks to Spy Records, a lot of Candi Staton fans can enjoy listening to YOUNG HEARTS RUN FREE and HOUSE OF LOVE. The sound of these two albums is incredibly clear and crisp. I have both of these albums on vinyl and this reissue certainly does the quality of these two albums justice! My favorite songs have to be "Living For You", "Yesterday Evening", "I Wonder Will I Ever Get Over It", and "What A Feeling". The reissue also includes liner notes by David Nathan, which gives a closer insight on the two albums and even includes an interview with Ms. Staton herself.

BOTTOM LINE...........this album is worth the praise of fellow soul divas such as Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, Gladys Knight, etc. Purchase this album and you will see why Candi Staton is called the Sweetheart of Soul.
