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.

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.

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 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
great
I feel so humbled right now. I love you.
My favourite Band.
