Candi Staton had a strange path to a mainstream comeback.
Her vocals from her 1971 song "He Called Me Baby" were sampled in 2009 for the One Eskimo hit "Kandi."
And with that attention, she's poised for a more traditional-style comeback---an album of new recordings, featuring some young supporters, including John Paul White of The Civil Wars and Jason Isbell.

One Eskimo "Kandi"
This one recently went into the mix at mvyradio. What do you think of it?
Did it ring any bells for you? It uses the hook from a song called "He Called Me Baby" by Christian/Dance music legend Candi Staton. It cribs a pretty healthy chunk of the original, but the songs is surprisingly strong.
Do you like this one? Care to hear more of it?
Hear a sample of One Eskimo "Kandi", here.
See the video and hear the whole song for "Kandi," and see Candi Staton do the original, here
Buy the One Eskimo album, here; get Candi's album here
