Candi Staton You Got The Love ( Original 1986 Version )

I'm surprised this hasn't surfaced on YouTube yet - and I guess an actual video performance would be even more rare - but this is the original 1986 version of Candi Staton's latterly classic "You've Got The Love", the acapella of which was put together with the dub of Frankie Knuckles' "Your Love" to make the version we all know and love, some years later (1990).

Of course, back then it all sounded very, very different...

Florence REALLY didn't do the best version. for me, it's got to be the Eren's Bootleg mix from 1991

[Pedro Dias]

Just because Candi's version is better, doesn't mean that florence's version isn't good.

Florence is a great singer and have a beautiful voice, just like Candi.
