Staple Singers/CA, USA 1969

This is the definitive live performance of the Early Staple Singers from the 1970s, before hits such as Stax’s Respect Yourself, I’ll Take You There, and Curtis’ Let’s Do It Again were released. At this point, they have already released more than 10 albums and have achieved a fusion of gospel and R&B, and their soulful live shows make you feel that it won’t take long for them to rise to stardom.
