Candi Staton is back in the spotlight after a major career revival—iconic singer of Stand By Your Man (1970) and Young Hearts Run Free. Born 1940.
US soul singer Clarence Carter has died at 90. Born blind in Montgomery, Alabama, he scored major hits such as Patches (1970) and Slip Away, and worked at Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals. His death has been confirmed by his management and reflects a career spanning gospel-tinged blues to risqué anthems.
