This song won’t let me go to bed because I can’t stop listening to it because it’s worded just right for how I feel about a certain person. The music is so beautiful that I wish I didn’t have to turn it off but I know all good things must come to a end. Miss Candy you out did yourself with this song I must say may God continue to bless you and your talents. It’s my favorite and I don’t care how old it is it works for me still till this day. You go girl and I just love it!

[@vettethomas5625]

Most people think of her as one of "Disco" divas. Yes, she was that. But she was more. Her unique voice puts her on the podium of the best blues singer of all times...

[@jimjackson4111]

Yep.

[@clementesilva2935]

I agreed totally with you

[@deloreswillis9224]

I love candi’s voice I go way back with her R&B songs now I relate to her GOSPEL SONGS🙏🏿

[@kevinskad4life799]

ONE WORD DESCIBES CANDI STATONS MUSIC.... UNBEATABLE

[@geli-anton]

Dave Crawford a young heart who ran free but as a victim disapeared way too soon. Eternally Candi Staton voice will display his talented contribution to the contemporary music R.I.P.

Such a beautiful soul ballad 💕

[@PLAY2WINNPETTWAY]

OMG!!!!!!.....Trying to type and wipe my eyes at the same time......I used to sing this song almost everyday....I've been looking for this song on CD since my mom only has it on 45.....I was 8 years old when she 1st played it and have LOVED this music and many songs like it my entire life. "Guilty" by Al Green, ZZ Hill (when their talking in the beginning) used to just stir something within my young soul.....Thank You CandiMariaStaton....you really did a number on me when posting this song.

[@jimjackson4111]

Yes!

[@sandradeelawson.9655]

I guess because it has something to do with copy infringement bit, throwing in back in our faces, as we're the cause of their problems.

Sound like my jojo I miss her so much I love you cuz

[@markdrinkwater1508]

She was Aretha's favourite singers. She had a beautiful emotive voice which Aretha loved, Candi used it in such a beautiful way, very similar to how Aretha delivered, minus the shouts, where they are almost crying the song, it's just so sweet. When the greatest singer of all time says that you are her favourite, you know you are bad.

[@carl7674]

But she said she was told that her expression was more like Gladys.

[@markdrinkwater1508]

@@carl7674 Gladys used her voice in a similar way to Aretha, but hers was a deeper voice and doesn't have the agility or range Aretha had. Candi oozed and sang sweetly, which is very Aretha also. Candi is somewhere in between Aretha and Gladys.

[@carl7674]

@@markdrinkwater1508 I'm just repeating what I heard Candi say. I've seen all three live in concert (more than once) and yes, I give it to Aretha for range. Gladys is a contralto. Candi is a soprano. Most soul ballads/r&b is written in that range. G K and C S are both amazing singers, but Gladys is royalty, like Aretha. She is the Empress of soul.

[@markdrinkwater1508]

@@carl7674 Aretha is in a league by herself, she has no rivals, she posessed the greatest voice in recording history. I love Gladys, her unmistakable warm soulful sound, but I prefer Candi's tone and voice sound.

[@sheilapalmer224]

You are fantastic
