Y is for You Got The Love

Disco star Candi Staton recorded You Got The Love back in the 1980s after she decided to ditch her secular music career and to devote herself to the church. Unfortunately, the gospel song was then featured in a direct-to-video documentary about the world's fattest man... it only became famous when The Source remixed the track in 1991. The remixed track's success prompted Staton to reassess her career.

"It was such an inspirational song it allowed me to rethink," she told The Guardian . "People in church used to tell me secular music was the devil's music - but I realised it wasn't."

The song was written by Anthony B. Stephens, Arnecia Michelle Harris, and John Bellamy.
