Solo career

In 1968, Staton launched solo career as a Southern soul stylist, garnering 16 R&B hits for Rick Hall's Fame Studios and gaining the title of First Lady of Southern Soul for her Grammy-nominated R&B renditions of the country tunes "Stand by Your Man" and "In the Ghetto." [1] In 1975, Staton began collaborating with producer Dave Crawford on dance songs such as "Young Hearts Run Free" and "Victim".[2] In 1997, singer Kym Mazelle recorded "Young Hearts Run Free" for the film adaption of Romeo and Juliet.[3] Staton collaborated with acclaimed pop/r&b songwriter, Wayne K. Garfield, Change, Luther Vandross, and Janet Jackson on her 1979 album title song "Chance" and album single "When You Wake Up Tomorrow" (co-written by Patrick Adams).
