Such an awesome song and hasnt lost any power 50 years later (50 years?? holy fuck!). The debut album is brilliant too. Such a shame that they never went further but they went downhill musically after this debut song and album, bit of a mystery why but there ya go. I actually saw the farmer brothers about 10 years ago in a pub cover band playing the usual suspect songs - approached them and told them how much i loved the band in those early days and they kind of just shrugged in resignation at it all. This song though man, and that first album - incredible stuff

My dad finally bought a stereo record player in October 1972. In the run up to the festive season, ITV showed an advert for '20 fantastic hits Vol 2' by Arcade records. So, yeah I got it for Christmas. Standing in the road' is a fantastic hit. It was on this lousy compilation that broke the trade descriptions act. Nearly half the songs on it never enjoyed significant chart placings. Alongside the great Blackfoot Sue was Sammy Davis Jnr with the dreadful non- UK hit 'Candy Man, a smattering of late 60's tracks from Mary Hopkin and Joe Cocker. Donny Osmond was on there too. Overall, it was a disappointing various artists LP. Cueing on to the tracks you liked was impossible on the Fidelity stereo 9 with mauve faux leather side panels. You had to suffer all the bad tracks to get to the good ones like the little known 'I'll take you there' by Staple Singers... and the top 5 actual 1972 hit...'Standing in the road.'

@kevhill1643 2 жыл бұрын

Little known? Maybe if you live on the moon. "I'll Take You There" peaked at # 1 on the Billboard R&B Singles chart for four weeks May 1972. In June, "I'll Take You There" reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for one week, prime position in the UK was #30. Billboard ranked it as the 19 song for 1972. The song, ranked 276 on the Rolling Stone list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999, remains the most successful and recognizable single of the Staples' half-century-long career.

@nazaholicable 2 жыл бұрын

@@kevhill1643 And that Staple song was unknown chart wise, radio wise, TV wise in UK in 1972. Making no 30 in the UK charts was not a 'fantastic hit' back then. It was all about the Top 20. Without that vinyl compilation album, I'd never have heard it. And that's what was so good about listening to the LP record I'm mentioning. There is the familiar, (why you buy it), the bad (which you'd prefer wasn't included) and the little known good stuff. I'll take you there is great.
