Candi sang with such soul and such conviction! This was the classic "angry black woman stand strong" come back song! Always thought this classic was a little underrated and should have been a much, much bigger hit...It told quite a good story...Unlike today's "rap crap / Ga Ga" sounding garbage.
Was working away in my shed today when this song came on the radio. I almost burst into tears! So beautiful, both the words and that voice. And so long since I heard it last, but still I recognized it instantly! Disco became "not cool" in the late 70's, for reasons that I've never fully understood (other than that punk was in), as disco to me meant great songs like this. Still, being a youngster I followed the crowd of course. I'm not saying that punk was bad, I'm saying some disco was good.
momma used to play the hell out of this song REST IN PEACE LIZ HALL WE COULDN'T HAVE HAD A BETTER MOM OR MY DAD A BETTER WIFE. now everybody lets dance and let hey young heart run free. uc
this song remind of my brother (1962-2008) , 8 years younger than me .At this age of 18 , he goes to a dance hall with his girl friend , Carine , my wife and i were invited too
i saw the two of them dancing on this beautiful song .Never forget that feeling i had that day .Later they broke up but allways this song remember me of that moment
loved candi with this number. still fresh today. great memories 1976 1st love in all that jazzzzzzzzzz. still memories really r special. the lyrics in this song really did stick with me.???????????love candi
in 15 going on 16 in april my dad just passed and b4 he could pass he showed me all the good music like Candi Staton The Beatles and just songs about love and none of that lil wayne autotune cause you cant autotune my ears to like it. and my dad may have his mermories of the 70's but i have memories of him telling me
@GhillieGuy141 stay strong your dad wanted to pass on the love of these soul music legends-with the love x. stay strong. it will get easier-promise x.
@GhillieGuy141 i am so sorry for your loss. but you will learn great strenth from this experience. your dad wanted you to have these great tunes so you could keep a part of your dad with u always. i know you will do that. you have to be strong now. you will, i know cause your dad had great taste in music & cared that you knew it. with the love x
she changes the words to /when love reallyDOES love you/ on her later version of this song, there fore making the rest of the song meaningless & she wont let u comment on it. check it out
love does love u , u say on ur later version. y ruin a great song? was in luv wi t u in 76. & 4 some reason this was me & my gals fave song back then. thanx
when this song came out a friend gave me this record and it helped me out and i have passed this song on to my daughters so that their hearts can soar as high as they want it to go
She was really before her time but this song hits home this day and age. I love when she says to yourself true don't be no fool when love really don't love you. get it girl. That's why I am a young heart and free
Now that's a hit! Great song.
