A wealth of artists have been inspired by Staton including Florence & The Machine, Jessie J, Mary J. Blige and Jason Isbell. Christina Aguilera sampled 1972’s Best Thing You Ever Had and Florence & The Machine and Joss Stone have both covered You Got the Love.
Staton’s 2008 collaboration, Love Sweet Sound, with British duo Groove Armada returned her to the US Dance charts for the first time since 1980. She’s also enjoyed a huge international hit with various DJ remixes (Larse, Frankie Knuckles, Ashley Beedle and David Penn) of her inspirational tune, Hallelujah Anyway.
Pete Tong, brought her in for a remake of You Got The Love with Jules Buckley’s Heritage Orchestra.
