Mavis...

I count myself lucky that I live in a world where there is great talent and Mavis Staples has the sort of voice and heart that just makes me feel good...better than good, listening to the Staples Singers gives me hope and these days everyone needs some hope.

Leather Canary has three must haves from the Staples Singers on their Friday Funk and Soul post. Their version of Stephen Stills "For What Its Worth" is for my money simply the best version out there...
