[.ca] Be Altitude: Respect

Amazon.com essential recording:
In the 1960s, the Staple Singers began to make music that spoke to a wider audience than their core gospel fans. Gospel had served as the musical backbone for the Civil Rights movement from the beginning, but Pops Staples was spurred on by the inspirational messages of Martin Luther King Jr. to address more explicitly these issues. This 1972 record, an apex of groovy, mellow soul music (thanks to Al Bell's production and the definition-of-funky Muscle Shoals rhythm section), landed the group three Top 10 R & B hits and their first pop chart-topper, the joyous, bouncy "I'll Take You There." The Staples were always a one-of-a-kind gospel group; they managed to be the only one to inhabit the Top 10 without ever diluting their messages of tolerance, respect, and love. Who can fault any great preacher for wanting to spread the word to as many people as possible, especially when it sounds this glorious? --Mike McGonigal

Another Stax Classic:
The Staple Singers get Right here.The Stax Musicianship is in High Gear here.this is When Soul Music was Soul Music.Great Arrangements & So Much Feeling that you can't turn it off.the Music is So Deep & Rich that it will Bring Tears Of Joy To Your Heart & Soul.Genius in front of The Mic & Behind it.

A Revelation:
This is a classic Stax record. Isaac Hayes produces with a soulful rhythm section and unobtrusive horns. And lord can Mavis Staples sing! This is a very moving and uplifting album with music to match its message.

Perfection -- what more can you ask for?:
Ah, the Staple Singers. The soul group that brought me to soul. As an old punk rocker, old Bowie fan, and more, I just LOVE the Staple Singers. The musicianship is par excellence, and the singing is the sound of deep, moving musical moments. You cannont listen to this album and not be moved. Its just soooooo good. So good production, and the remastered version is absolutely fantastic. GET THIS ALBUM. Your life and soul will be greatly improved. I just wish there was more Staple Singers albums to listen to. They are all fantastic. Even live!!!!

A wonderful up lifting album by a wondeful group. It is wort:
I have a copy of this cd, and it is a worth while cd to have in your collection. The songs are up lifting, Mavis lead off songs, in which you can feal a feeling of excitment. Pop Staples has a sound that makes you want to respect yourself, and get others to do the same thing. The whole cd is just exciting and wonderful
