[@TonyM1961]

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

[@daddymang9211]

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.

[@sooz9433]

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. 🎼🖤

[@TonyM1961]

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

[@mfalmekali]

I get chills evertime i hear Mavis sing....the sista gat SOUL

[@StevenC32]

The Staple Singers were awesome. I remember listening to them on the radio in the 1970s.

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!

[@anthonymaccherone]

You know you're that good when the audience does call and response with you.

[@veronicaspottedeagle6580]

This lady can sing she is awesome

[@AceGreene]

Michael Jackson got "shamon" from Mavis Staples.

[@johnsummers385]

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT .. THAT'S WHERE HE BORROWED "SHAMON".. IT WAS A WORD USED FREQUENTLY IN URBAN CULTURE TO REPLACE " COME ON "

[@jerryhollowell230]

Gospel Rock the way it should be done. The incredible Staple Singers took the music to a new level.

[@thejukejoint]

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).

[@CyndiWallaceMurphy]

[@YourLocalIceMan]

Hearing the raw liveness of the performance is like wow. Off the charts wow. Mavis be possessed.

[@Spiritree41]

SAng yall. Help me na.....

[@m4marcel]

Nobody can sing like Mavis Staple. A lotta soul there.

[@LesSmith45]

I have one question. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MUSIC FROM THIS SONG TO TODAY? What happened to the great soul music of the 70's? What happened to the Great R&B of the 60's & 70's. Usher, Fifty Cent all the so called shit that is being produced today. Again, what happened to the great music of the late 60's and 70's? Does anyone believe that Usher would have made it at all during the 60's & 70's with his so call great music of today. I dont think so. Mr. Wizard i wanna go back.

[@Troikaone]

Ironically the soul music from the 50's, 60's and 70's was considered the devil's music and was shunned by some people. Most of the black singers back then had groomed their voices in church choirs. Also, since black folks were trying to make great strides to be accepted by the majority population; everything we sang about was considered wholesome. When black entertainers realized that a positive image did nothing to increase acceptance, we started singing about anything we wanted to.

[@fannyfae7752]

Mother Mavis Staples knows how to whoop a melody line, and the audience kids!

[@april1969simnel]

Mavis for sure may have dodged a bullet (I doubt he'd've been faithful to her, knowing him), but I'll bet Bob is _still_ sad that she turned him down.

[@sarcasticallyrearranged]

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.

[@TheMrE1974]

Ha. I saw Joss live and thought the exact same thing

[@spacegasp]

It`s impossible to have more soul than she does. The BEST .

[@ernestbutler4141]

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

[@livingthedream7878]

That woman is working that song. Absolutley awesome!

[@bettystaples8307]

My favorite group the Staples Family.

[@gergesium5011]

Wow!

[@frank123452358]

Wow!!!

[@theresadavis1865]

NA Tipler

[@chj2]

With all due respect, Beyonce ain't the only one (and I haven't heard Beyonce SANG like Mavis ) - you left out Chrisette Michelle, Laura Izibor, Corrine Bailey Rae, Lalah Hathaway, Deborah Bond, Conya Doss, and SEVERAL OTHERS who I'm quite sure have been studying the FABULOUS Mavis Staples.

[@petercarrillo751]

Now that's a family all day
