BMG Rights Management, formerly known as Bertelsmann Music Group, is a global music conglomerate with a rich history in the industry. Originally formed in 1985 as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and RCA, BMG has since evolved into a powerhouse of music production and distribution.

In 1986, Bertelsmann acquired full ownership of RCA and Arista Records through the purchase of their joint venture's stock from General Electric. The following year, these labels were merged under the umbrella of Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), solidifying its position as a major player in the music world.

In 2004, BMG joined forces with Sony Music to create Sony BMG Music Entertainment. However, in 2008, Bertelsmann sold its stake in the company, leading to the formation of BMG Rights Management. Today, BMG continues to thrive as a leading record label and distributor worldwide.

Firmly ranked among the best Candi Staton records, this 1981 album for Sugarhill Records (who specialized in rap music at the time) has remained unavailable for many years. 'Nightlites' was a reunion with Dave Crawford, producer of Staton's massive 70s hit 'Young Hearts Run Free'. Of the album's seven songs, more than half are geared towards the dancefloor, such as 'Love And Be Free' and 'In The Still Of The Night'. The record features a nice uptempo pop song of marital reaffirmation in 'Count On Me' and a sensuous ballad, 'Hurry Sundown', written by Deniece Williams, she of 'Free' fame. Candi even tries a little rap on the tail end of 'The Sunshine of Our Love' and gives Elvis' 'Suspicious Minds' a nice dance workout. CD - This remastered edition is finally available again on CD, featuring two bonus 12" mixes.
