Its so Amazing 👀 seeing footage of my Family & Cuz Mavis is still going Strong @80 God is An Awesome God RIH Pop cleo Vonnie Timeless Music!💗💗💗

My grandmother Dester White and Mr.L.Dawson use to sing this song in their gospel group back in the 60's. Mr.L.Dawson has passed on now but, my grandmother Dester White is still here and still singing these songs today. Believe it or not!We love this kind of gospel singing down here in Mississippi!The Land Boys of Millry, Alabama.

Love it! POPs and his family are an American Treasure. No other group like them.

Pops Staples & Bo Diddley..two of the coolest cats Ive ever seen on a guitar

In Chicago, the early 60's allowed viewing of the Staple Singers on a Sunday gospel broadcast channel called "Jubilee Showcase." Back then many greats lived on the south side. I remember sitting at a locale restaurant where Pops was eating. I admire the Staple family for their musical contributions.

I've loved Cannonball Adderley's version of this for more than forty years, and I finally got around to checking out the original. Amazingly soulful.

It's the story of the oppressed in this world. Simply born into a cold, unforgiving world & beat down by society for being poor & uneducated, can break a person down. A life like that is enough to make anybody cry out, "Lord, why am I treated so bad!".

I saw them at the Filmore East long ago. Just Pops, Mavis and the sisters and thier brother. NO BACKUP BAND (I forgot who they opened for). They brought the house down. The ladies came down the aisles (Mavis shook my brothers hand). It was one of the most moving, Soulful shows I've ever seen.

I am walking in Jesus name, Yes I am . Amen. Love that name Jesus . Amen.

Met pops when i was nine..Glad I did!

These guys here, they may have crossovered, but they stayed true to their roots. Class act all the way. Pops wrote this btw.

After George Loyd. Again and again We need you , Pops and your beautiful family I am so sorry and sad today. Take me to church, Miss Mavis

This is REAL music!!!

Amazing at chruch body and soul always a great place to be!!

Amen is all I can say, leaves me speechless. Amen.

If I could hear my mother pray again!!

That grooviest syncopated intro that drops into it. Pops is the coolest dude and whatta band.

Pops knew how to bend them strings!! RIP

Love Pops

Pops and Hubert Sumlin took their Charlie Patton inspiration to Chicago and plugged in and rocked the world...passing the tradition to Curtis Mayfield, who did his thing. R. Kelly almost kept it real and Common showed much respect. I have high hopes for Jennifer Hudson, if she doesn't disappear from dieting. Feed your tradition and PASS IT ON Chicago.

Now that's MUSIC!!!!! Go POPS!!!

Beautiful ❤

Part II: One more note--I believe that NYU film student Amalie Rothchild came up with most of the film segments that were shown before and during the light show. An unofficial Fillmore theater photographer, she produced one of the most comprehensive photo records of the place, which can be seen in her marvelous photographic memoir: Live At The Fillmore East.

They can do this the best""'

Bellissima, scoperta solo con la vista del film Selma

I cannot shake the irony of all the white people who claim to love the Staple Singers. These people made beautiful music describing their confusion of the oppression we as Black people have had to face since the first day we were pushed and prodded from the slave ships. They didn't have the knowledge that organizations such as The Nation Of Islam, and the Black Panthers had, and in later years, people like the Staples clashed with the militant ideologies that led black people closer to their liberation than previous years. The slave mentality had to be changed, and the passive approach had to be done away with. I love these people, because when the fighting is done for the moment, and the blood and wounds are fresh, they are the ones who will take care of us. They may not like our position, but they'll love our spirit.
