Canzetta Maria Staton, born in a town of 800 souls in Alabama in 1943, picked cotton and sang gospel as a child. At 17 she ran away to LA with Lou Rawls, but was talked out of a wedding by Lou's mother. "We almost got married by his mother sent me back and told me to stay in school". Two minutes twenty of perfect southern-fried soul. Live on baby.
