Kandidate

This expansive UK disco and soul group came together in 1976 comprising members from two previous soul bands: Hot Wax (who went on to become Hi Tension) and 70% Proof.

They were signed to Mickie Most’s RAK Records label and he also produced their recordings.

Their debut ‘Don’t Wanna Say Goodnight’ was a minor hit in 1978 and this was followed by three more charting singles, including the number 11 hit, ‘I Don’t Wanna Lose You’ (1979).
