Beautiful.😘↗Youngsters know beautiful when they 👀 see and or 👂hear beautiful singing voices.↗Me and another female used to sneak the album of Candi Staton and Betty Wright from her father's music collection to mimic as in sing along to their beautiful heartfelt singing voices.↗😁
So surprised no one is commenting on the deep hurtful truth in the lyrics of this beautiful disco song. Many dance away without taking note of the words. Amazing talent thanks for sharing.
Many of us would have been too young or not born yet to understand the deep truths, now maybe we are realising the hurts and pain the singer may have gone through.
This woman is fierce. She should have been way way bigger in her career cause she was a total package, singer, dancer and so so gorgeous. Hands down, a "great entertainer."
Candi's voice is pure emotion. I'm overwhelmed by the sprit every time I hear her. She has a special gift with a sound and tone that cut straight thru to your soul. Another unsung African American vocal magician. She has given me so much happiness and emotional transformation on the dance floor for the last 30 plus years. Long live Candi!!
Mr. Hardy - I"m a 74 year old white dude. Your opinion is RIGHT ON my friend. It doesn't get ANY better than Candi Staton, and that's the name of THAT tune. What a talent!
This song brings so many memories. My gorgeous and beautiful momma passed away 3 years ago and boy she danced her heart out to this and many other songs. I love you mom. You're dancing in heaven.❤
One of my fav songs of the late 70s disco era. Love Candi. I never ever tire of this song. Wish I had seen her perform this live but grateful its here on You Tube.
Candi Staton is one of the most gifted and unique singers I have ever heard. Victim , especially her long versionshowcases her unique voice including her unique grunts, groans and moans. - R. L. Foley
And, she samples "I told them Young Hearts Run Free" in Victim"! Girlfriend was way ahead of the curve. Now a days a record aint nothing unless your sampleing or paying homage to some other great song in your song. She is Fabulous!
Candi Staton has such a beautiful voice, you can hear the emotion in every note that she sings. I would say that her name is not the first that will come to minds of people but I always felt she was so underrated as a vocalist. She had a good range and great soul qualities that made you feel when she sang. She had a few big hits duing the late 70's and early 80's
I love this Women, Candy station, Tina Turner, Gloria Gaynor, Betty wright, Donna Summer, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight. This Women have style. Just listen to their songs.
When I heard this song on the radio driving home, they played the long version, and I had to buy it. Just by looking at her photo, and how she sounded, I knew she was a Pisces. Then I had to find, "Young hearts run free", to see what she was singing about.
THis type of disco could NEVER "suck." Good soul song with a disco beat. The male vocalists behind Ms. Staton give it a kind of Glady's Knight and the Pips vibe for me, but Ms. Staton is a one of a kind love!
This song popped in my head the other day..what a classic great song-Jeez I'm showing my age-I mean my 'plastic' - I am a puppet clown after all. Sing it Candi-my Disco Princess!!!
Evergreen master piece. ❤. Great to know that Candi lives to witness what the music industry has become today and to know that we still love her songs and lessons. ❤❤
Candi Staton, hermosa voz, lindas canciones que me retrotraen a los 60 y 70. La escucho una y muchas veces. Excelente cantante y con mucho sentimiento en sus interpretaciones!!!
Love this lady she nailed it remember wen l was a young boy loving the lyrics nd playing it several times on the LPs without understanding the words but it was touching my heart.
so smooth and powerful *is Candis voice! I hope a lot of our young people get the opportunity to hear this beautiful lady sing! i told you young hearts run free but I didnt to my self!
i allready liked the song but it was the most favorite of 1 of the customers in the bar where i worked.it reminded him of his wild days in studio54 and eventho he wasnt able to walk and in pain whenever i played this for him he was dancing on his chair.he lived life to the fullest
UA-cam Viewer ....Nope !!! Young Hearts... though she sounds good on anything....Imagine if she had better writers as did Gladys. ....Matter of fact her and Gladys have the same tone in my opinion... Do you agree ? What's your thought?
I agree that Candi sounds a little bit like Gladys Knight! But if you listen the vocalist to Ecstasy, Passion and Pain group "BARBARA ROY" you'll find out both voices are almost the same! Gladys just has a little deeper voice! The name of the song is "Don't Burn Your Bridges Behind You"
Just reminiscing 2023
Beautiful Candi ❤I would have loved to see Johnnie Taylor and Candi do some music together ❤❤ Love them both!

So surprised no one is commenting on the deep hurtful truth in the lyrics of this beautiful disco song. Many dance away without taking note of the words. Amazing talent thanks for sharing.
My baby been threw a lot💗 but it’s in the past na
I cry when I hear this song I DO know what she went thru to achieve her goal I love her so much
It's called the blues....singing about hurful experiences is sort of the point.
Many of us would have been too young or not born yet to understand the deep truths, now maybe we are realising the hurts and pain the singer may have gone through.
that's what happens when young.
I wish no one made songs sad or hurt ever. just write books about it. why ruin a good beat
I love this song. The message is tough if this ever happened to her. They used to play this at the roller skating rink in NY.
I saw Mrs. Candi profiled last night on Unsung (TV One). I love her!! She' been through a lot -- but she's still here and looks and sounds AMAZING!!
This woman is fierce. She should have been way way bigger in her career cause she was a total package, singer, dancer and so so gorgeous. Hands down, a "great entertainer."
A song that has an important message ❤
I was a very young girl and knew every word of this song…had no clue of what I was singing. 🎶 🖤🎶💕🎶
The most slept on artist! She was bad!
Candi's voice is pure emotion. I'm overwhelmed by the sprit every time I hear her. She
has a special gift with a sound and tone that cut straight thru to your soul. Another
unsung African American vocal magician. She has given me so much happiness and emotional transformation on the dance floor for the last 30 plus years. Long live Candi!!
Me too! I love Candi Staton music its timeless.

Stephen Hardy Your comment is spot on!!!

MS. Staton has a distinctive voice and owns every song she sings. She is still as beautiful as her voice.
@Kelly Houston lmao yes
This song brings so many memories. My gorgeous and beautiful momma passed away 3 years ago and boy she danced her heart out to this and many other songs. I love you mom. You're dancing in heaven.❤
The 2 songs I really liked from Candi Stanton “ Young Hearts Run Free” and “Victim” bring me back memories from my youth, great songs!

This is a very strong woman who has overcome so many challenges. And has persevered.
This song by Candi Staton has a gospel sound and feel. It’s the lyrics that are powerful. They are still relevant many years later.

Special and so sweet voice !!!...Great team of professionals around !!!...💖💖💖...

This was one of our Saturday morning clean up songs. RIP Auntie Betty caus this was her jam. Great memories
This was definitely a number one song on the jukebox! I still groove this song today.
I've got this song in a house mix and i'm smashed to see the video. I'm a victim of loving this song!!! Thank 4 posting
Her energy is always contagious
My father introduced me to Candi in 1978. I've been hooked ever since!!!
I grew up in the 70's and I don't remember this song. Heard it on Sirius XM Radio recently and I love it!
Tune in Studio 54 Radio XM 54.
I never saw this video before!!! Love me some Miss Candi!!!
Another great song by a wonderful singer. Well done Candi!!!
We love Candi!! So underrated!!
One of my older brothers used to play this all the time when I was growing up. Loved it then. Love it now
An absolute classic. Still listen to this album today. ;)
She Deserves More Fame Than She Got! She Had A Message On Life’s Problems!
Oh man, listening to this smashing hit takes me back to my early 20s,newly wedded guy;loved it so much,still do!
I grew up in the 70s and was one of my family's favourite song. Always reminds me of my dad.
Candi Staton, hermosa voz, lindas canciones que me retrotraen a los 60 y 70. La escucho una y muchas veces. Excelente cantante y con mucho sentimiento en sus interpretaciones!!!
abslutely love this song especially when it comes blasting on my iPod the bass alone makes you wanna stop what you are doing and start dancing!
A beautiful woman with a soulful and beautiful voice.
So glad I rediscovered this beautiful song .. still sounds as it did decades ago🌷
Do do op, op ha do do op, op ha do do op...
My sister bought this record when I was six. To this day, it's still one of the greatest songs I've heard.
I love Candi Stanton such a cool vocalist and a Beautiful Woman
Love this lady she nailed it remember wen l was a young boy loving the lyrics nd playing it several times on the LPs without understanding the words but it was touching my heart.
This record could fill the dance floor, from coast to coast.
Beautiful 💖💖💖! I was 16 or so when heard it for the first time.
Classic! I love this song! She had a special gift and this was before Whitney Houston.
This put everybody on the dance floor. Back in the disco daze
I love you Candi. A Songstress and a beautiful singer ❤
This is one of the best singer I know you go girl!!!
Lovely song 🎶
When music was music 🎶 ❤dem I love this song
so smooth and powerful *is Candis voice! I hope a lot of our young people get the opportunity to hear this beautiful lady sing!
i told you young hearts run free but I didnt to my self!
i allready liked the song but it was the most favorite of 1 of the customers in the bar where i worked.it reminded him of his wild days in studio54 and eventho he wasnt able to walk and in pain whenever i played this for him he was dancing on his chair.he lived life to the fullest
To me....... Victim is Candi's BEST SONG!
Tied with "young hearts run free "
"When You Wake Up Tomorrow'' And "Run To Me"
Were Quality Songs As Well
and run to you, and honest I do
UA-cam Viewer ....Nope !!! Young Hearts... though she sounds good on anything....Imagine if she had better writers as did Gladys. ....Matter of fact her and Gladys have the same tone in my opinion... Do you agree ? What's your thought?
I agree that Candi sounds a little bit like Gladys Knight!
But if you listen the vocalist to Ecstasy, Passion and Pain group "BARBARA ROY" you'll find out both voices are almost the same! Gladys just has a little deeper voice!
The name of the song is
"Don't Burn Your Bridges Behind You"
Right on bro!
shee looks very great ~ love her singing ❤️🌹👍 🔝💯🎙️🎸👌
