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.↗😁
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."
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.
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.❤
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!
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.
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
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.
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!!!
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
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!
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
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.
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!!!
I had a chance to see this song done live, in an open air band shell in Long Branch NJ---the band was from Philadelphia. They were spot on------excellent horns--percussion and singers.
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!
HAPPY 82ND BIRTHDAY

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
MS. Staton has a distinctive voice and owns every song she sings. She is still as beautiful as her voice.
@Kelly Houston lmao yes
One of the best stories ever SUNG😊
This makes me cry every time. Some will understand what I'm saying, some won't and thats fine.
I never saw this video before!!! Love me some Miss Candi!!!
That raspy gorgeous voice and wicked music. Lovely just lovely.
This was my mother’s favorite song. God bless her soul. ❤

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!

Not only one of my favorites from the era, but one of the greatest hits of the era and it still bounces today😊👍
This plays in Jamaica every old hits party and here to and I use to do the bounce to this here song right here
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.
Yes‼️. Sang it, QUEEN ‼️👑. May the GOOD LORD CONTINUOUSLY REIGN BLESSINGS on YOUR LIFE 💜
You know we love you Candi. You contributed to the music of my childhood and thank you
Can we say hot as fire - both the woman and the song! 😍
That song, that voice and that beautiful woman, A Masterpiece

what a texture to a voice , raw yet elegant ! incredible!
My favourite in the late 70s... savouring it over and over, asking for repeat in a club. I just loved it.
Right on bro!
We love you Candi!!! Thanks for all the great songs and music.
GIRL,ain't nobody else who can sing,entertain,and delight people like you can!
This was one of our Saturday morning clean up songs. RIP Auntie Betty caus this was her jam. Great memories
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
2021 wuz stil listening
What a powerful song with substance
Tnx candi for blessing us with such a beautiful song
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!
Her energy is always contagious
My mom jam I'm crying listening to this cause now I know why she loved this song....young hearts run free
I love this album 😢 R.I.P mom
This put everybody on the dance floor. Back in the disco daze
This record could fill the dance floor, from coast to coast.
this is a masterpiece
My father introduced me to Candi in 1978. I've been hooked ever since!!!
One of my older brothers used to play this all the time when I was growing up. Loved it then. Love it now
This was definitely a number one song on the jukebox! I still groove this song today.
shee looks very great ~ love her singing ❤️🌹👍 🔝💯🎙️🎸👌
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.
Thanks for posting this timeless classic. Good memories, good vibes, great song, great singer.
Joyce Taylor you are fab

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
Great sexy disco singer. Luv Ms. Candi Staton. Saw her on Hot City in 79. Now a church minister. Candi is dandy. Go girl go. Vive les disco freaks...

An absolute classic. Still listen to this album today. ;)

I grew up in the 70s and was one of my family's favourite song. Always reminds me of my dad.
