WOW ! what a song from a great singer and still great today. My favourite Candi song. I went to see Candi in concert in Birmingham UK and she never sang Victim. I was gutted. Please include it in your set Candi.
Just bought the Young Hearts Run Free/House Of Love CD last week. HOL could've used a couple more quality uptempo tracks like this one, but still a good album. YHRF is an amazing album. Albert, you were so right.....Candi is incredible.
@visionkingdom really? i remember when my mother used to play this song back to back..and still today she carry this song on her dvd player,and i know what she means when she became a victim,and now iam a victim of a man i love
This was my favorite. I LOVED this song....... your are the BEST Candi. Lots of great memories of being out on the dance floor...shakin my stuff....lol.
I like this song because it tells a story. Now, I like reading books because it gives me a perspective of other people and the the things they have experienced; in that same way do I like this song. It just calmly and evenly tells the story of a grown woman who increduously finds herself suddenly the subject of the heartbreaking prose she had skillfully but nonchalantly sung before. (sigh).
Hi Candi, my dad was Arlen Fields, from The Colony, AL. I was so shy when you visited our home in the late 70s. (you probably don't remember). We always play and sing your songs around the house. "Victim" and "When You Wake Up Tomorrow" are my JAMS! I can't believe I've never seen this video!
i use to see this girl on the way to work every day , i was so into her and always looked forward to seeing her on the platform on the train station , all we would say is hi and bye until i finally got the nerve to step it up, well she didnt turn out to be the girl i expected her to be. so disappointing, im a victim lol.
but this song always reminds me of her oh well lol
For as long as I can remember this has been my all time favorite song, I was born in 69 anyone that knows me will tell you this is Tonya's S@@@, I was always given my friends advice on their love life, I did not take no crap from any man, but there did come a point in my life that a man almost destroyed me, so I think that is why I fell for this song so hard, I think somewhere in my mind I knew these words would apply to me even though I loved this song long before I met this man. Candi 4-ever
This dance track is over three decades old and it still sounds as good as ever, from a beautiful singer who was born to sing. I once heard her say in an interview that she sings songs from her life experiences, and you can certainly hear that in how she delivers the lyrics to this song, this is just simply a classic 70's dance track from a supreme songstress, without question!!
THis type of disco could NEVER "suck." Good soul song with a disco beat. The male vocalists behind Ms. Staton give it a kind of Glady's Knight and the Pips vibe for me, but Ms. Staton is a one of a kind love!
FANTASTICA, EU AMO A DISCO
