Candi Staton - 1963 (Lyric Video)
An acoustic coffee-house stayed soul track where Candi Staton tells what she saw Sunday, September 15, 1963 in the bloody aftermath of the 16th Street Baptist Church Bombings. That morning, four girls died, 22 were injured, riots broke out throughout the city as a result of the local Klu Klux Klan planting 19 sticks of dynamite on the steps of the church. The world was horrified at the terroristic attack on children. It galvanized the Kennedy Administration to expedite the Civil Rights legislation. Unfortunately, President Kennedy was assassinated several weeks later and President Lyndon Johnson would fulfill Kennedy's legislative goals to create equal rights and treatment for all.
This soulful soliloquy is in the vein of Curtis Mayfield's "Pusherman," The Staple Singers' "Why Am I Treated So Bad?," Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On?," or even Gil Scott-Heron's "Winter in America." Staton’s eldest sons, Marcel, and Marcus Williams, who were with her that Sunday in 1963, laid the music. Marcel played bass and Marcus (Isaac Hayes, Peabo Bryson) played drums. Myra Butler (Pop Staples, Dionne Warwick) played the keyboards, and Steve “Lfthnd” Lewis (who is known throughout the Atlanta, Georgia Jazz community for his left-handed guitar skills), added some lite strumming. Staton joined her daughter Cassandra Hightower, and Walker on the background vocals. Listeners can hear the emotion in Staton’s voice as she tells the story in the song that she recorded in a single tape. “I could only do that one time,” she says. “I was reliving it and started to cry.”

Candy Staton with that million dollar voice! This song is a Freaking Classic! ❤❤❤🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
You young people hear her young heart run free
This song sounds like the Bee Gees
Please bring back the repeat button 😢
🔥Am 70 still love hearing her. Loved Candi Staton for her rendition of BeeGees Nights on Broadway, 🌹 🌺 her great singing her songs in the 1970s disco era as she not only was pretty but what a voice. She put her all into her career. Cat 🐈 🐶 🐦 Enthusiastic, nice person 😂She had a hard life, but Gid helped her through... she is a survivor of so much! 🦋 I got her autograph years ago 😢 😢 but lost it when I got direct hit from Hurricane Ian Sept 28 2022 🦋. Any chance the Real Candi Station whom is now a Gospel singer for our Lord x could give me another replacement? Am in Southwest Florida. Oddly I sell our era record albums, 45 rom single records, 8 tracks, cassettes, CDs, sheet music, audiobooks , vintage collectibles, antiques, new, used .miscellany, toys, disney pins, costume jewelry at Fleamasters Fleamarket as am in semi retirement..Would swop for such. 😂
I ll8ved her as singer a lot... I ost myuicc collection when Hurrucane Ian hit here..Lost her Autograph I want to get back shain
My Mother Loved this song!!! It was playing on the radio one day while driving to the grocery store. When she had parked in the parking lot, My siblings and I were about to get out of the car before she said, "Wait a minute, hold on, wait til this song goes off then we can get out"! 😂😂😂 What a great memory of this song and my mom, who is 78 yrs young now. Im gonna let her hear this song and check out her reaction 😊
Shes beautiful!
Jose Trepat (Disc jockey) Exito arrollador, creatividad, sin trucos, sin bailarines detras, en aquel verano tan caluroso de 1976, en que cada noche sonaba esta cancion y un ambiente espectacular en la discoteca "UROGALLO" de Viella. (Valle de Aran)
She was sososo sososo sososo deep
You are a legend
She looks like the female version of Cat, from Red Dwarf, with her gorgeous smile
Like Richard Carpenter said, every song she recorded, she gave a pint of blood! Brava Candi Staton!
