Thank the Swampers in Muscle Shoals for this.

this is a timeless super special song in the very rare category of an anthem ,a prophetic anthem and declaration of galvanizing people to rise up and go to a new place of freedom and the incredible feeling of a win . here it's being used for the struggle of civil rights .but it's applicable anywhere,where people want to breakout of the limiting prisons' they become conscious of themselves being in.and are asking themselves "can i break out of here and go to a better place " it's an invitation shout "yes" ,and says you can because" I KNOW A PLACE " . . it's an invitation to move into Hope,faith and ACTION. " IT"S INSPIRED" i bet this song was born out of heaps of prayer .

Yes my uncle was lead by God to sit in the backyard of granddaddy lead to the bus granddaddy bought and the lyrics just came to uncle Al to calm him after uncle was murdered yea WE KNOW A PLACE AND WE BEEN TAKING U THERE.

I became aware of Mavis from seeing her in The Last Waltz. The power in her voice (like an idling muscle car..you hear the power right away) but what blew me away was her phrasing on the verse of The Weight she sang. So I got myself somewhat familiar. This is IMO one of the sexiest vocal performances ever. People told me it's natural, not trying to do it, as they're gospel. I didn't argue but my mind was calling BS. Why during the guitar solo is she saying Daddy, daddy... I later found out that her actual father was the guitarist for the Staples 🤣😂
