Evidence- The Complete Fame Records Masters

Product Description 2011 two CD collection from the Soul vocalist. Candi Staton's recording's for Fame Records are some of the most essential moments in Southern Soul's history. For the first time ever all 48 of the tracks she made for Rick Hall's label between 1969 and 1974 are together in one place. 22 have never been on CD before and 12 are previously unreleased. This collection contains 12 R&B chart hits, four of which went Top 10, including her peerless version of Tammy Wynette's 'Stand By Your Man'. We have also included every track from her three albums released on Fame. Kent Records. Review This is such an amazing and essential collection. Candi's years at Fame produced some of the best music of her entire career and some of the best soul music of all time. This collection gathers together her entire output from her years there and the results are just breathtaking. Candi's passionate vocals will get down deep inside you and won't let go. No one makes music like this anymore and it is such a shame. The power and emotion throughout these sessions is what all artists strive for and Candi seems to do it with such ease and perfection. The previously unreleased tracks on this collection are such a welcome revelation and it is such shame that it took more than 4 decades for them to be heard. I cannot recommend this collection enough. It is definitely the best music purchase that I have made in quite a while. --Amazon
