Soul on Sunday - I'm Just a Prisoner / Candi Staton

Yes, I know I'm a day late... Sorry, won't happen again etc.

I was sure that I'd featured Candi Staton on a previous Soul on Sunday, but when a song of hers came up on iTunes, I checked and found epic fail on that score. So to make amends here she is, doing the title song from her 1969 album.



She really emerged in the late 60s / early 70s as a superb southern soul vocalist, performing a range of material including covers of country classics like this version of Stand by Your Man:



Of course she may be best known for some of the work she did with the Source in the 80s and 90s, including this mega smash, You've Got the Love.
