Candi Staton is a renowned soul, R&B, disco, and gospel singer. She was born on March 13th, 1940 in Hanceville, Alabama, U.S.A. Throughout her career, she has made significant contributions to the music industry as both an artist and a record label owner.

Not only known for her incredible vocal talent and powerful performances, Candi Staton has also been married to Clarence Carter from 1970 to 1973 and John Sussewell from 1980 to 1998. Together with John Sussewell, she co-founded the gospel label Beracah Records.

Candi Staton's musical legacy extends beyond herself. She is the proud mother of Cassandra Hightower and Marcus Williams (2), who is a talented drummer. With her rich background in various genres of music and her influential role in the industry, Candi Staton continues to inspire aspiring artists around the world.

Unstoppable is both a celebration of Staton’s legacy and a bold step forward, with a sound that’s funky and contemporary, but still steeped in the Southern soul and blues of her Alabama roots. Like all of Staton’s albums, Unstoppable is deeply personal — but it also turns her attention towards current events. In addition to rousing covers of punk poet Patti Smith’s People Have the Power, Nick Lowe’s timeless rocker (What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding, a pair of nearly forgotten soul classics: Norma Jenkins’ 1976 burner I Fooled You (Didn’t I) and a song particularly near and dear to her, Tyrone Davis’ 1969 chart-topper Can I Change My Mind, the album features six originals written or co-written by Staton herself.
