If it is just that one file, easiest to simply open in mp3tag, and in the TITLE field type in "Stealing Love" and save. Then in the ARTIST field, type in Carlene Davis and save.
or if lots of messed up like this, use the CONVERT menu, then select "Tag - Tag"
then in FIELD enter: TITLE
then in FORMAT STRING, enter: %title% - %artist%

Create an action of the type "Guess value"
Source: `%title%`
Target format string: `%title% - %artist%`
