[@martharichler6672]

So moving. Playing in its entirety on the radio and can't wait to see the film - will share the link on my social media too. Thank you for sharing the link as I had not heard about the film and I (and many friends) am a huge fan of Mavis Staples, goes without saying.

[@patriciacorbett386]

Thank you, Dan. It sure gave me a perspective on "sticking to your guns" as was the famous saying when I was growing up. I wept at what they went through.

[@RoundUpPromotions]

Gave me goosebumps!

[@michaeljoseph9722]

Incredible ! How she remembered the key ! She started off alone but was in tune with the guitar !

[@harmonyeternal]

it comes from singing a song so many times...

[@helenoney588]

Well yes, but also while she was talking the bass player periodically played the tonic of the key of the song so she'd know where to start.

[@sarahbrown6485]
