Candi Staton Ex Husband: Who Is Joe William?

Candid Staton was married to Joe William from 1959 to 1968. There isn’t much information about Joe William on the internet as he kept his life away from the media.

In Europe, Staton’s biggest-selling record is the anthemic “You Got the Love” from 1986, released in collaboration with the Source.

In 1982, Staton returned to gospel music. Staton and her then-husband, John Sussewell, founded Beracah Ministries in Atlanta, Georgia, with help from Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker’s PTL Ministries. Staton has since recorded twelve gospel albums, two of which received Grammy Award nominations.

Staton appears on the United Nations Register of Entertainers, Actors and Others Who Have Performed in Apartheid South Africa. Creatively, Candi has moved between soul and R&B, gospel, disco and even EDM before returning to her roots as an elder stateswoman.
