Like many talented soul-music performers, Candi Staton started her career as a gospel singer; however, unlike many of her contemporaries, Staton returned to the church just as success was headed her way. The secular tracks Staton recorded with Rick Hall at Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, between 1969 and '73 are considered some of the most criminally overlooked soul recordings of the era. They were given a loving reissue in 2004 and helped reintroduce Staton to the pop-music public. Despite 2006's secular comeback album, HIS HANDS, Staton stayed with her faith, and remained one of gospel music's most popular and consistent performers.

Title NoteAlthough Candi Staton came to fame as a soul-deep R&B singer of the Muscle Shoals school, the Alabama native started in gospel, a style she has returned to full time in recent years. THE ULTIMATE GOSPEL COLLECTION is a two-disc, 31-track collection of Staton's more recent gospel work, which has all the R&B thrust of her great R&B and disco singles, but in an obviously less secular context. Her versions of Paul Simon's "Bridge over Troubled Water" and Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On?" turn both into full-on gospel rave-ups, while originals like "Too Late" drip with sanctified soul.
