Episode Candi Staton is finally getting her flowers
Candi Staton has been a gospel prodigy, a Southern soul powerhouse and a disco icon. Now in her 80s, she’s back in the spotlight with her Grammy-nominated album Back to My Roots, which marks her return to the gospel music where it all began. From segregated Alabama churches to ’90s dance floors, her career includes timeless hits like Young Hearts Run Free and You Got the Love. But it’s also a journey marked by hardship, heartbreak and long stretches of being overlooked. Earlier this year, Candi joined Q guest host Garvia Bailey to reflect on a remarkable seven decades in music — and what it means to still be singing, creating and finding her place in the spotlight.
