MAVIS STAPLES: Soul + Gospel Legend
Mavis Staples is an inspirational force in modern popular culture and music. A veteran of the music scene for over 40 years - a Lifetime Grammy Award winner, National Heritage Fellowship award winner, Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee and included on VH1's list of 100 Greatest Women of Rock and Roll - Staples (with The Staple Singers and on her own) is responsible for blazing a rhythm & blues trail while never relinquishing her gospel roots, influencing artists from Bob Dylan to Prince (who dubbed her "the epitome of soul") in the process. Appearances alongside everyone from the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to Bill Cosby to Presidents Kennedy, Carter and Clinton to musicians Janis Joplin, Pink Floyd, Santana and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and recording sessions with Bob Dylan, Los Lobos, Aretha Franklin and so many others barely scratch the surface of her accomplishments.
