Come on people, if you can't give this one a thumbs up maybe you should give up listening to music, period !

[@Skinnychelle48]

Pops was so smooth, love Mavis’s voice!

[@sooz9433]

The Staple Singers were a handsome family. I love that they all have Pop's dimples and their voices, rhythm and delivery are soulfully perfect. Great memories here. Thank you for sharing.

F**k this is deep.

[@malcolmromeo]

Was this recorded from the famous "Bitter End" night club in The Village in New York?.....Looks like that famous brick wall

[@recordguy4321]

Yes

[@tjcolatrella943]

@@recordguy4321 Yup..

[@prince13896]

It's so cool to me that they pushed themselves beyond the gospel churches, bringing their message and incredible music into smokey nightclubs, rock concerts, demonstrations, and anywhere else that would host them. Must have been a hard life, but now we have these incredible filmed documents of their journey. PS Pervis' handclaps really tie the room together!

the power in her voice is amazing

[@anouchkadromas5405]

ecoutez ecoutez freres les voix penetrantes des Staple Singers et pleurez pleurez mais esperez aussi!!

[@jamesfreeman2258]

They were clean with peefect rhythm, bestiful voices, courageous in all the turmoil that surriunded them in the day. They never strayed from God. They were so talented, and Pops was the spirtual and musical leader of his family. I never heard once one fowl word out of them, but they did stsnd their ground agsinst hatred. And won. I have respect for them for they sang and lived their faith. Love Pops smooth singing and Mavis powerful miving voice.

[@theleadshoes]

[@geffcassuto]

Mavis may be the greatest vocalist of all time

[@anniejohnson5165]

that is a fender jaguar the jazz master has humbucker pickups

[@BasicBeatMusic]

Fender Jazzmaster I believe

[@rogerbranton1752]

It's a Jazzmaster. Regardless - much love to Pops & his daughters! ❤❤

[@CaraCordoni]

that is a fender jazzmaster , not a jaguar.

[@WetNoseProductions]

it's definitely a jaguar, trust me I have one.

[@NightlyMirror]

Connor Aitken-lombardo At first, and for a long time, I thought Cara was right (and I own a sunburst Jazzmaster) because, in the initial part of the video, due to the image being blurred, the pickups look wider and perfectly rectangular - like perfect soapbars. Then suddenly, when the camera zooms in at 1:11 and we can see greater detail, they look much narrower, and it is in fact a Jaguar. Interesting too, because he DEFINITELY played a Jazzmaster at Wattstax with an extra 3rd pickup added to it in 1972. That one can be seen in the KZbin video for Respect Yourself performed live at Wattstax, The video for which can be seen if you look up the following title here on KZbin: The Staple Singers Respect Yourself Live Filmed Performance 1972.

[@NightlyMirror]

NightlyMirror Update: There is also a black and white KZbin video of The Staples performing Sit Down Servant, and THAT one is DEFINITELY a Jazzmaster. So he clearly owned both around the same time. Great performance by the way, and well worth watching...

[@namebrandmason]

Pops played both, but around 1:15 it zooms in and you can see the skinny Jaguar pickups and metal cover for the rhythm circuit. His Jazzmaster had a middle pickup and the switch plate from a Jaguar.

[@catboyzee]

Definitely a Jaguar. Beautiful instrument though...
