The Funk and Faith of the Staple Singers
From their start in the late 1940s, the Staple Singers had a sound all their own.
Gospel… rhythm n’ blues… soul music… you name it. For more than half a century, the Staple Singers transcended generic boundaries with their groundbreaking, funky grooves and relentlessly positive message.
