ReStructure Mix Update (9/4/13) “Looking For Love” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Candi Staton


ReStructure Mix Update (9/4/13) “Looking For Love” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Candi Staton

Cadi Staton (Canzetta Staton-Sussewell) is a disco artist with a history of prolonged love and attention. Starting with her 1976 classic “Young Hearts Run Free” which is one of the master-disco songs which paints the atmosphere for unity and freedom on any dance floor. Her following hits, “Victim” and “When You Wake Up Tomorrow” prove the mood for Candi to continue on as a spectacular disco diva.

Her 1980 album, “Candi Staton” was released during the disco cease from major labels so promotion for her material was minimal – and relied on dedicated disc jockeys. “Looking For Love” is the first track on the album and is the pick hit for me – it was a track I would play with an extended mix using two pieces – and it always worked. The guitars and rhythm is this wonderful song resemble a Chic-esque sound.

I have ReStructured the album version to not only extend it – but give it a new disco feel. It is Candi’s vocals that make this one work once again and she is greatly appreciated here.

Dedicated to Ms. Candi Staton for her continuing love and admiration for the dance community.
