Mavis Staples Artist Snapshot:

A lead vocalist in the renowned gospel group, the Staple Singers, from a very young age, Mavis Staples has had a career that has spanned more than five decades. During that time, Staples was also deeply involved in the 1960s civil rights movement, and later worked with R&B/pop icons such as Curtis Mayfield and Prince. Though her solo work is often overlooked, her post-millennial recordings have found her in fine form, particularly 2007's much-lauded WE'LL NEVER TURN BACK.

This 21-track anthology collects songs recorded in 1969 and issued on three albums. The roster includes a strong duet with Johnnie Taylor called "That's The Way Love Is" and her signature tune, "A House Is Not A Home." Steve Cropper produced and arranged 11 cuts, with Don Davis producing another eight. Staples' energy, delivery, timing and technique were consistently awesome. Unfortunately, only a few of these songs got much attention outside R&B circles, but their quality shows Staples' greatness as a soul vocalist. ~ Ron Wynn
