  6. "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".

  8. Young hearts run free - Candi Staton

    The greatest disco song of them all? Very possibly.

    Candi spoke to Radio 4's "Soul Music" in 2022 about how writing this song helped her get the courage to walk out of an abusive relationship.

  10. Hopefully this #CandiStaton number (UK #6). I prefer it to the Bee Gees version. :) But I'm guessing Young Hearts Run Free (UK #2) was on your jukebox. youtu.be/ghjxSlfLJYs?...

  12. Going through 1960s music journals at worldradiohistory.com, I came across this review by Penny Valentine, published in Disc & Music Echo (January 28, 1967).

    I've had the 45 for quite a few years, and still play it every now and then:

    Mattie Moultrie: That's How Strong My Love Is (1966)
    youtube.com/watch?v=-aKUx8w-7Ng

    One of the very first recordings done for Richard Gottehrer's and Seymour Stein's Sire Productions, this impressive version of a soul classic was issued on the Columbia label, but didn't sell too many copies at the time.

    While I do disagree with Valentine's judgement on the quality of Otis Redding's recorded output, I'm still partial to O.V.Wright's original version, which was his first secular recording (on Goldwax), and made it to #109 on Billboard's Bubbling Under chart in the fall of 1964.

    Other memorable female versions were later recorded by Candi Staton and Laura Lee - both are excellent. But Mattie Moultrie's over-the-top reading is still something special.
