“I Can’t Leave Your Love Alone” #42 7/4/1970

Some Alabama soul from Clarence Carter. Around this time he married one of his backup singers, Candi Staton. They divorced in 1973. She racked up 13 Top 20 singles on the soul charts and ventured into gospel music. Clarence, of course, became famous for the jukebox and club hit “Strokin’.” Such a divergence.
