The Staple Singers- "I'll Take You There/We The People" Live 1972 [Reelin' In The Years Archives] 

Mavis don't need words she can just make grunts and umms sound amazing!!

No other voice like Mavis's voice. I could listen to her all day.

Still Listening in 2024 ...from South Africa. MAVIS ...THAT PURE SOUL VOICE❤

Mavis' VOICE is an AMERICAN TREASURE. Peace. Gilda

She is so original and amazing. Like Aretha when you hear that voice, you know immediately who it is.

Nearly 50 years later, Mavis is still singing and performing live across the country.

Pop Staples trained his girls to be responsible and respectful women

Nothing like The Staple Singers and Mavis has that awesome voice and then Pops getting down. Man the good days.

Gone are the days of great groups like this...I love pops on the guitar...great song that has traveled thru time with us and is still relevant today.

This made me forget for a moment that there is pandemic. This good music makes me feel better days are on the horizon.

No one sounds like Ms Mavis and singing along with DADDY while playing his guitar is alright with me any day or night!!! It wasn’t until I was older that I knew she was saying, “Play you’re Piano, now!!!” I was thought the line was Shake you’re Behiney, Now! 😂 😂 🤣 🤣 🤣 😂

Her voice is glorious! OmG!

Mavis still has it. She is so powerful, so energetic.

Their raw talent is unmatched... incredibly moving... "Daddy! Daddy!"

this song is so relevant in 2020

I'm 35 and this is what my ma dukes and poppa d had me and my sister listening too. It sound so satisfying. MAVIS IS THAT QUEEN...

I thank you God,today is June ,2020 I'am still listening to the Staples Singers ,they are legions Mavis I love you RIP to pop and the ones who no longer own Earth.

I remember myself about 12 years old and dancing to this in my "Hot Pants" (70's) the joy...

One of the Greatest soul acts EVER !!!

Mavis Pops Cleedi and Yvonne were so Amazing. Good Harmony.

It's amazing the sound that Pops gets out of that guitar -- especially with no cord plugged into it!

What can I say, pure soul from the Staple Singers, Mavis's voice is majic

Her voice is so unique ....I love it

OMG take me there !!!! The Staple Singer take you to all good places. MERCY!!!

This song will be played at my memorial (already told my kids). It’s an ode to my parents and those older than me, that will lead me into the next phase of “life”/death.

Play that guitar old man pops

She maybe the most underrated singer the world has ever known. That voice is perfection in blues, gospel, tenderness and quality. The great ones, Franklin, Streisand, Garland, Presley are surely inviting Mavis into that pantheon of greatness.

So true for those days and these days in 2022. How did we forget this and why? How did we get so lost?

Just make me glide away from all the problems.GOD bless the staple singerd.

Yes Take Me There I Love This Group

One of a kind voice man between her and Gladys. That would have been a powerful duet if they ever did it

Beautiful Family...She was born to 🎤 Sing!

Greatest runs of any song

2021 still Rich in Music 🎶 & Song. These Ladies are Bad too the bone.....Soul Soul Soul Black People.

Now that's an artist so much talent...

I was a teenager in the UK 1960's. Grew up with all Soul. Love all my brothers and sisters, as long as they are law abiding. The 60's were the greatest ever for us all, black or white.

“Aweehuh” still relevant in 2019 🤣😂🤣

Iam soo glad i grew up with this music! So damn REAL 😍

Fabulous!!!!!

Me and mother enjoyed this so much. Timeless!!

Beautiful black family 💯💯💯 love their vocals sound ❤.

No one resonates better than Mavis. She doesn't even words to take you there. Love them!

Would’ve loved to hear Tom Brown and Mavis & the Staples - Funk meets Gospel. Jamone!

Let's do it again! Oh I'll take you there!

Mavis said "Oh Lord" felt like the lord is coming in the door!

Mavis don't hurt baby. You are gold standard of raw R&B. God gave you a voice that must be heard. Now you see where Michael Jackson got the "shamone-shamone from. He was paying respects to Mavis.

Natural talent... natural beauty 😉😊

Mavis is a national treasure!!!!!!

ONE WORD ABOUT THIS SONG-"BEAUTIFUL!"

They were so great in The Weight with The Band!

The emotions were so high

God bless her, no other voice like hers, she's in her 80's now and RIP to her father and siblings ❤️

Damn Mavis, damn Daddy, damn sistahs...miss this real ish!

That rasby voice of mavis is so unique,no one can imitate it

This voice rivals Aretha. Incredibly powerful. Walter Fagin and Donald Becker are proud.

❤❤❤

She is the very definition of a soul singer. This came out when I was 15 and boy was I in love with that voice. Thought it was the sexiest thing I ever heard.

I love the Staple singers.

If you don't feel the soul in you something is wrong. 🔥🔥🔥

Pops: so beautiful and humble..Thank you Staples.

Soul Singers.

Mavis and that husky voice Pop Staple was the man with the guitar in his hand they sure had a family affair.
