One of the most enduring artists of popular music, Mavis and her talented family fused gospel, soul, folk, and rock to transcend racism and oppression through song. Honing her prodigious talent on the Southern gospel circuit of the 1950s, Mavis and the Staple Singers went on to sell more than 30 million records, with message-oriented soul music that became a soundtrack to the civil rights movement--inspiring Martin Luther King, Jr. himself. Critically acclaimed biographer and Chicago Tribune music critic Greg Kot cuts to the heart of Mavis Staples's music, revealing the intimate stories of her sixty-year career. From her love affair with Bob Dylan, to her creative collaborations with Prince, to her recent revival alongside Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, this definitive account shows Mavis as you've never seen her before. I'll Take You There was written with the complete cooperation of Mavis and her family. Readers will also hear from Prince, Bonnie Raitt, David Byrne, and many others whose lives have been influenced by Mavis's talent [Publisher description] 600 10 $a Staples, Mavis. 610 20 $a Staple Singers. 650 0 $a Gospel musicians $z United States $v Biography. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Composers & Musicians. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a MUSIC / Genres & Styles / Chamber. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a MUSIC / General. $2 bisacsh 600 17 $a Staples, Mavis. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00298728 610 27 $a Staple Singers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00671374 650 7 $a Gospel musicians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00945034 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 941 $a 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20180918010502.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AF93A95AA11911E88235114097128E48 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
