Stuart Maconie presents a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast.

Today, soul legend and four-time Grammy Award nominated singer Candi Staton joins Stuart to share her 'First, Last and Everything' - that’s the first record she owned, the most recent one she’s enjoyed and the record that means ‘everything’ to her.

Candi, called the ‘First Lady of Southern Soul’, is best known for a string of hits in the 1970's including ‘Stand By Your Man’ and her disco anthem ‘Young Hearts Run Free’. In 1991, her track 'You Got The Love' was remixed by dance producers The Source into a massive club hit.
As well as selecting her biggest musical enthusiasms, she talks about growing up in Alabama, singing in the church, and how listening to ‘You Got The Love’ helped her in her battle against cancer.

Also on the show... long-running feature ‘The Chain’ which gives listeners the chance to pick a track that links in some way to the last. The list now contains over 8000 songs.

With a selection of music old and new to get the weekend started.
