@@Dinnerthedaythebanksareopen Hi Valerie, yes I grew up in the 70s. I'm Gen-X, coming on 57 years old in June, Lord willing. I can't speak for everyone else, but me and my household loved Candi Staton! I was a little girl at the time, but I would hear her music constantly on the radio. Like I said in another comment, my big sis loved her music, and we'd all sing along to "Young Hearts Run Free"! ☺ I agree, I think more people should acknowledge her and her contributions to music. She doesn't get near the attention here on youtube that she deserves! I followed her career off and on, she was Candi Staton-Sussewell I believe at the time she gave her heart to the Lord. I remember hearing her tell her story and struggles with alcoholism and her Husband's drug addiction on Christian tv, back in the 90s, and it was both riveting and compelling!

Disco is just a sub-genre of Rhythm & Blues and so are soul, funk, New Jack Swing, house, Latin Freestyle, Latin soul, electrofunk, zydeco, neo soul, adult R&B, southern soul, soul jazz, smooth jazz, acid jazz, Chicago soul, etc. R&B itself developed from Black gospel/spirituals and many of the early R&B/soul singers either started in gospel or sang in church. Some early R&B (& rock n roll too) songs were originally gospel songs with the words changed to secular topics. Thomas A Dorsey, who is considered to be the "father of gospel", also wrote blues songs. Most of these genre titles were made up by the record labels, radio DJs, or the music press for marketing reasons. They were not usually made up by the artists themselves. Miles Davis & Nina Simone did not like the word "jazz", and Hall & Oates have said in interviews they hated the title "blue eyed soul". At one time, any music by Black artists was officially called "race music" and "country & western" was originally called "hillbilly" by the labels.

This song was used in the movie Romeo and Juliet (DiCaprio, Danes, Leguizamo). I was 16 so this was the version of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet shown in English class at school, for the 90’s generation. Romeo and Juliet represented that Young Love being encouraged, despite the unaccepting and unacceptable society. Also touching on the acceptance of cross dressing, rainbow and culturally pushed elements throughout (gun violence, racial, generational, etc) leading to mental illness and self harm. It changed the way that I ear the full song. The full song is more about teaching your kids not to fall into life altering traps and staying there, want more for your life than mediocre, live your life as if the Young Love you feel is for yourself and your future, with Hope, instead of regret.

So much of the pre-Disco 1970s R&B was considered 'dance music' and was played in dance clubs, both gay and straight, across the country. This song from Candi Staton, was often played in the gay dance clubs of the 1970s. The first time I heard it was in a dance club in Seattle called Shelly's Leg. I don't think I've heard the song since then! So, thanks for reacting to it! It brought back memories...

I love this song, it brings back powerful memories of teenage years and first experiences. This is a super popular classic Disco hit [there are many more to look forward to]; some of the slower more soulful disco was played at the end of the night for smooching. - 'R&B' meant something very different in the 70's - rock versions of blues imports from the 60's and early 70's, like early Led Zeppelin at it's best, but more commonly associated with amateur turgid pub bands until punk put a stop to it.
