1. One of the Staples' great forgotten singles... |
|
"Oh La De Da" (1973)
Don't let the silly title fool you. The lyrics are just as socially relevant as the rest of their pre-1975 material!

6. "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" The Staples' version of this smokes... |
|
any hilbilly attempts (not that there's anything wrong with hillbillies) Roebuck's guitar is slinky and sinister.

There's a song they did that was on the American Roots Music series on PBS and I cannot for the life of me remember the dang name.
Gonna drive me nuts til I can dig out the CD and find it.
God, I love the Staples Singers.

12. Man, Mavis has the best damn voice on the planet. |
|
Had to go with "Heavy . . ." but that is a damn tough choice.
I always think of drinking wine out of the bottle at a church picnic when I hear the Staples. Great, giddy spiritualism!

A movie worth seeking out. Talking Heads, David directed and starred.
