Every single time I hear Ms Mavis sing, it sends shivers and goosebumps all over. My Lord is she talented!! No computers or auto-tune here folks, just incredible natural ability
Mavis got that baby face that belies the power of her voice. I've always felt immense respect and admiration for her ability. I adore the Staple Singers and I especially love their early gospel music. 🎼🖤
Mavis Staples created a language never duplicated such as the "shum on" in her lyrics is relative to 'come on" her deep growling moans were her metaphors for timing for the next phrase in the next verse. In other words she was enjoying her self having a good time on the mic.
THE STAPLE SINGERS , I'LL TAKE YOU THERE ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS..1973 I WAS OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL AND JOINING THE MARINES.. 1973 SECRETARIAT WON THE TRIPLE CROWN... 1974-78 MARINES-79--2010 MAILMAN ...SHE IS FULL OF ENERGY..
tThe Staples Singers have a couple of the most awesome and truthful songs ever. This one, Respect Yourself along with Smiling Faces by the Undsputed Truth and Backstabbers by the O'Jays tell the REAL DEAL!
I love it, I love it, I had been waiting a long time to see this. I had a cassette recording of this, but seeing the picture is so much better. She is just great. I love them all. Pop, Evon, Cleo, and Mavis. I got a chance to see them in person, and it was just earth moving
Beautiful MAVIS, was.working for the Lord God bless her she is 80 years old and still going strong. The Staplers SINGERS Started with Pops STAPLE in 1949 and he and.his band around 1945
I got it I listen to all that music because I come from old school and I love that music becaufuil music amen God bless 💗 then all again from Kathy Alexander victor Alexander
Great Video!!! I have been waiting to see a live version of I'll take you there from back in the day!!! Mavis was getting ready to let that place out!!! Does anyone have the video of The Staple Singers performing I'll Take You There on 'Rock Concert"?
Just awesome! It seemed like the whole audience was saying "I'll take you there" when mavis would say "help me now". LOL. It's a good thing they song faded out. Mavis was about to take them to church. LOL (I love you Mavis).
THE STAPLE SINGERS Songs and Legacy are Pure Gospel and Spiritual which crossed-over to Rhythm and Blues and Pop.And Everyone knows that Gospel is From Ones Soul.Well almost everyone,Joss is One of Their Pop Fans,I wonder where Joss thought they were Singing about Taking him?😁😎✌🤘💙🖤luv ya byo eJ

If you have to get stuck playing one song the rest of your life, you can’t go wrong with this one.
Mavis got that baby face that belies the power of her voice. I've always felt immense respect and admiration for her ability. I adore the Staple Singers and I especially love their early gospel music. 🎼🖤
She could still "take us to church" even today at age 84. She has more talent in her pinkie than most modern "artists" have in their entire body
Blew our minds in the 70’s, Still blowing our minds in 2022…🎼🥰
Very depressing when we compare this music to todays RnB.
AND still blowing MY mind in 2023! I was just a PRE-TEEN when this song came out. 🙏🏾
The Staple Singers were awesome.
I remember listening to them on the radio in the 1970s.
I get chills evertime i hear Mavis sing....the sista gat SOUL
Originality at its best. Now everybody wants to sound the same. Iconic!
Her voice is a wonder.
you know who is singing the first note!!!!!!!!!
@@janehyden1652 And amazingly, Mavis is still performing. She's currently on tour.
You know you're that good when the audience does call and response with you.
This song came out when I was in the ninth grade! I am now 60 years old and I still love like when I first heard it! Mavis's voice is Golden!
Same here that was some good music on those 45 records
She's feeling her song...go girl
And she and WE ARE STILL FEELING IT!
That must be pure joy, to be able to a) sing like that and b) perform w/ your family. Papa must've been so proud!
Beautiful. This music will always live on in my heart. It is one of a kind.
Holy God, this woman just does something to me.
This lady can sing she is awesome

Mavis is a national treasure!! Been liovin her music for over 40 years!! She's always had areally special quality about her!

Back when people could sing live
Nobody can sing like Mavis Staple. A lotta soul there.
My favorite quote from a rock writer "Salvation never sounded so sexy."

Hearing the raw liveness of the performance is like wow. Off the charts wow. Mavis be possessed.
One of the greatest groups there ever been
This is where Micheal (Jackson) borrowed it from!❤️💯💥‼️
my ex boyfriend would always play this song, it reminds me so much of him.
Damn her voice always gave me chills! All gone but her and her brother I believe!
She has a sister Yvonne who is alive and travels with her.
@@elainedodson8370 Yyonne passed away a couple years ago. Mavis performs with her band. Purvis is also still alive (85) but does not perform.

Great Video!!! I have been waiting to see a live version of I'll take you there from back in the day!!! Mavis was getting ready to let that place out!!! Does anyone have the video of The Staple Singers performing I'll Take You There on 'Rock Concert"?
Just awesome! It seemed like the whole audience was saying "I'll take you there" when mavis would say "help me now". LOL. It's a good thing they song faded out. Mavis was about to take them to church. LOL (I love you Mavis).
The previous comments should read is the best gospel singer on the face of the Earth
She had this look I know when he came when her time came to sing boy I know she was ready ready Freddy
HAPPY 80TH BIRTHDAY YVONNE STAPLES (OCTOBER 23, 2016)
I want a wife with mavis's facial expressions.
Preach 😊
FANTASTIC ... love..it... hmmmmm!!!!
Mother Mavis Staples knows how to whoop a melody line, and the audience kids!
They needed more close ups of the entire family
Gospel is all you need
mavis staples for ever!!!
I love when Pop makes that guitar sing and whine.
When she got to the part 'lying to the races' everyone started clapping their hands together.
Get It Mama...
I like their dresses.
look how pretty mavis is damn.
DAMN
Right on 👍👍👍
The American woman before tattoos, fake everything, and piercings.
So cute baby doll face 🥰
Still blowing minds in 2024
thanks for adding this rare clip
and oh mavis ma mavis
sing a song, me lady :)
Nobody but a black woman can sang it like this!!! Nobody yall, often imitated but JUST can not be duplicated...
Michael Jackson got "shamon" from Mavis Staples.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT .. THAT'S WHERE HE BORROWED "SHAMON".. IT WAS A WORD USED FREQUENTLY IN URBAN CULTURE TO REPLACE " COME ON "
Ace Greene o
That's what came to mind when I saw this...
I gave my opinion on a Joss Stone video and said she had a good voice, but lacked soul. Everyone said I was wrong. To me, THIS IS SOUL.
Ha. I saw Joss live and thought the exact same thing
It`s impossible to have more soul than she does. The BEST .
THE STAPLE SINGERS Songs and Legacy are Pure Gospel and Spiritual which crossed-over to Rhythm and Blues and Pop.And Everyone knows that Gospel is From Ones Soul.Well almost everyone,Joss is One of Their Pop Fans,I wonder where Joss thought they were Singing about Taking him?😁😎✌🤘💙🖤luv ya byo eJ
Back when the Grammy's actually meant something.
THIS is a rock/pop DIVA! THIS is SOUL! This is the REAL thing, far far far beyond the over-souled and "oversold" pretenders of today!
Mavis Staples ..... !
Wow!!!
NA Tipler
❤Love..
So good

Pops was the Man👍
She says "help me daddy" - you go girl
Can the queen sing..sing it queen 😮
