The Staple Singers
United States
Приєднався 8 січ 2020
From their gospel beginnings to the height of their stardom, the Staple Singers traveled a long and artistically rich road into the mainstream of American music ̶ not only becoming some of the most important voices in soul music, but also in the Civil Rights movement. Helmed by patriarch Roebuck “Pops” Staples, the Chicago-based group included daughters Cleotha and Mavis, as well as son Pervis (later replaced by his sister Yvonne). The gospel quartet began making appearances at local churches in 1948, and seven-year old Mavis quickly became the breakout star, sharing the lead with her father - her uniquely deep and soulful vocals a perfect match to Pops’ delicate, winsome tenor.

*About The Staple Singers*
From their gospel beginnings through the folk-rock era to their soul music peak, the Staple Singers traveled a long, artistically-rich road into the mainstream of American music, spreading messages of peace, equal rights and love. When the Staples -comprised of family patriarch Roebuck “Pops” Staples and daughters Cleotha, Mavis and Yvonne- joined Stax in 1968, they were working alongside major rock acts at forums like the Fillmore West and East. Over the next few years, The Staple Singers saw 12 chart hits, including "Respect Yourself" and "I'll Take You There", both off their 1972 breakthrough album, Be Altitude: Respect Yourself. The Staples continued to record through 1994, when they found a new audience with their cover of The Band’s “The Weight” for MCA Records’ compilation “Rhythm, Country & Blues.” Mavis Staples, who received her first GRAMMY® Award in 2011, continues to record and tour, performing everywhere from the White House to the Kennedy Center Honors stage to major festivals like Outside Lands.

november 7th 2020 memories😢 WE LOVE JOE 💙
Huge blessings to all
We the people got to make the world go round.
I so love this song! ❤
“Johnny we should leave.” “Nah they’re scared of us.”
Today, like never before.
👍🏿
❤❤❤❤❤❤
SO TRUE AMEN AMEN 🙏 🙌 👏 ❤️ ♥️ 💖 🙏 🙌
I can see the difference now. Between this version and bob Dylans. Heard this song before bikeriders. Thinking of family today. Ferris family. There's a lot of us.
Keaton?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
AMEN♥♥!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like Duane Allman on slide, however some nuances don’t match Duane’s phrasing towards the end.
Proud to say I met Pop in Cleveland 2 days before Ali- Wepner fight. Gracious gent.
That hammond is sweet
This is one of their most profound songs. Brilliant!
#THE Bikeriders film
Pure soul, pure goodness , and so BEAUTIFUL.
one of its kind!
I haven't heard this song in 50 years. Thank you. I have looked for this song for a long time...
Wowza
❤
It’s like my entire being is smiling- every cell is shaking it’s booty, and my mind is so uplifted by Mavis shouting these Gospel cries for positivity and enlightenment 🙌🏾 YES Pops !!!! Do your thangs so funky 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 This music is truly blessed and a blessing ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Memories!!
4 years no comments...wow

The Staple Singers was ahead of their time.
I bought this album today because I discovered this majestic 2 step track. Mavis and family are in fine form.
THIS SONG SHOULD BE SUNG IN A CHURCH SERVICE ⛪️ OR A CHURCH CONCERT BECAUSE THIS IS A VERY POPULAR SONG 🎵 I SING THIS SONG ALL THE TIME. & IT SHOULD BE #1
Great drums, great song..... !
One of the favorite groups in my childhood years. They told the truth in today's world.
Absolutely beautiful guitar work! Praise Jesus! What a breathtaking song, you can hear a million lifetimes caught up in what they're singin. That's about as real as you can get. Thank You for sharing your gifts with the world!
Beautiful song, sung and played direct from the heart. Very many thanks for posting 🙏
First time I heard this was on the last episode of 21 Jump Street
I would love to get all the lyrics of this so beautiful song.I am frenchspeaking mum
Great song! Is that Mavis singing, or one of her sisters?
Very classic singers love to listen to them
Yet another example of why Bob Dylan is a far better song writer than he is a musician.
A very nice soft song❤❤
Just wonderful music 🙏
Great 💯
Very soulful
❤ Love the Staple Singers❤
Why is my ancestry DNA your day
this is an example how the Staples exemplifed 'the Spiritual becoming the worldly' and how 'the worldly could become spiritualized'.😊
I dedicate this song to every Republican in the USA
the world in 2024 needs to hear this
