Artist Biography
Available in:
Louise Davis was born in United States on July 11, 1939. Candy as she was so fondly called was a resident of Birmingham, Alabama.


During the 60's, Candy was very active in the Civil Right's Movement. Her voice bellowed out across the south as she sang with the Alabama Christian Movement Choir, which was the official Civil Right's Choir in Birmingham.Candy also traveled throughout the city of Birmingham singing praise unto God.

Candy not only ministered through song but she worked with the Social Security Administration for over 25 years. During her career with Social Security, she helped many people as she served in various positions. Many co-workers have talked about how she helped them through their career. Her smiling face and words of encouragement will be remembered by many.

She was an active member of the St John Missionary Baptist church until her health began to fail.

In 1982, she received her professional music break when producer Frank Williams of Malaco Records heard her and her group, Faith ( Eloise Gaffney, the late John Wes Lewis, Mary E Pratt, Jim Hollins, Lawrence Sneed) and signed them to the label. From this signing, four memorable recordings would come forth-Lord Lift Us Higher,Better Than Blessed,Then These Trials, and Live in Birmingham. Out of all her hit recordings,the song"Better Than Blessed" is her signature.
