BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Chicago-born Mavis Staples grew up performing in her familyÃs gospel band The Staples, singing at local churches and appearing on regional radio programs. The family scored a hit in 1956 with ìUncloudy Day?, and when Mavis graduated high school the following year they went on tour. Thanks to Mavisà powerful voice and her fatherÃs sharp songwriting, the group enjoyed widespread success in the mid-?60s, becoming one of the primary musical voices of the civil rights movement. Around that time Mavis struck up a relationship with Bob Dylan, who even proposed to her before she married Spencer Leak in 1964. Mavis made her solo debut in 1969 with a self-titled release on Stax Records then went on to collaborate with Curtis Mayfield in the ?70s, and in the ?80s she joined forces with Prince, who produced 1989Ãs funky Time Waits for No One and 1993Ãs critically acclaimed The Voice. In addition to her spiritual gospel output Mavis has remained musically adventurous over the years, collaborating with Bob Dylan on the GRAMMY-nominated 2003 song ìGotta Change My Way of Thinking? and even making a foray into Americana with Jeff Tweedy, who produced her GRAMMY Award-winning 2010 album You Are Not Alone.
