Today's #AlternateFridayMusic theme is #Fire. Here's Candi Staton and one of the many great deep soul ballads she recorded at Rick Hall's Fame studios:

"You've got the love" - The Source ft Candi Staton
Cheap video, and i think it fits - because the song feels like it's a bit of a shared secret.
The mashup - Candi Staton's vocal, Simon Harris's instrumental - had already been a minor dancefloor filler in 1986 when mixed by Farley "Jackmaster" Funk, and it had inspired Paul Simpson's club hit "Musical freedom".
