Mavis Staples - I'll Take You There (Encore) Lyrics

Just bought tickets to see her in union chapel London.

How was it?

top tune, now part of my Positive mix

Sha-mon Michael, maaaan. Lolol

RIP Daddy I love you ❤️ it’s been 6 years

dont hurt em i love this song....beats baby

Soullll ♥️

Mavis was fucking gorgeous. Voice aside, just to look at her is an absolute pleasure.

Mavis said ('Shamone') hmmm...where have i heard that phrase, before? 🤔 "Who is it?" 🎶🎶

Michael Jackson

I didn't know that Michael was tipping his hat to her in "Bad"

I don't hear to many singers that give me goosebumps like Mavis Staples - just brilliant.

Somebody make a Master Copy bring up the volume I need that loud.. this version come on somebody

Isn't one of them, Whitney Huston's aunt??

I wish I could sign like that, I'd be getting down...

Me too!!

Love the Staples. This is what I call music. Pure soul!!!

This song is so phenomenal, growing up listening to the radio ,when you heard the very beginning come across ,it was on!🤣💖🔥🌷

Like the song love the song but the sound sucks no wonder haven't come back to this bring the volume up because it's a great video I just wish I could hear it like I should

One of the best acts ever

...always had a crush for Mavis...

..ain't nuthin like some fat back greasy soul..

Is she opal staples mom???

I love this

Mavis was just 26 at this taping.

She was 36

I was born in ‘84 I look at how much pride and style we had back then as a race. Now a days black women feel the only way to make good music is to have butt injections and hair weaves. I love the good soulful, natural beauty of a strong black woman!

I loved her dress!

Black women are still dressing beuautifully now in 2020, bring black women up and uplift them no need to bring them down, considering the past we have had as a culture. Black people need to lift other black people up, no one else will. Keep the kindness going and don't ever stop. ⚘

The #1 song in the USA around June 1, 1972. That was the day that The Eagles released their debut LP.

Sounds constipated.

The bass line is from the original classic by the late great Alton Ellis - Girl I have got a date.
Aston Barrett later used it and blew the world with in with the Liquidators.

Thinkerz 8tipitina not sure. I hear the pickup line for the bass line in the intro, but that’s about it. The rest of the lick and the bass solo are nothing even close in my opinion. 🤔

Mavis dropping knowledge

Audio is really low

change the speed to 9.0 cuz they sped this up and its too fast lol thank me later

Jesus Christ himself could walk out on that stage and somebody would say 'he's not like I imagined him; I prefer the other one.'

Love her voice!

tempo too fast, has greater depth when at 4/4 original recording, but the talent is still there💓💜😇⭐🌟⭐

Jesus Christ himself could walk out on that stage and somebody would say 'he's not like I imagined him; I prefer the other one.'

This is what I am talking about! We had the best in the 70s!

Wars rong wit the volume here y'all

Noone can sing like mavis shes so good licking i mean looking beautiful lady

Mavis Davis I wish I knew her she is very special as well as all the family but Mavis I would just like to marry her voice

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤

volume terrible

Q família maravilhosa , vozes lindas 👏👏👏👏👏

She took me there

I remember seeing this in 1975....i still love Mavis Staples

Lawd have mercy!!! Mavis!!!!

"Get loose like a bowl of jello". Ha ha. That's awesome.

I love Michael Jackson's hats off moment to Mavis with, "Shamone".

@Grant Schweitzer Not only that, Prince begged to produce her and Bob Dylan wanted to marry her!

Shamone

4:15 beatboxing in 1975?

Beatboxing has existed the world over, for as long as people have been making music. Some of the best 'beatboxing' I've ever heard has been in Indian music, in a style which has existed forever.

lol so this is where Michael jackson gets his "Shamone" phrase from. kills me everytime.

Wayne Designer yes, it is. He said in interviews when he was a kid that he loved the staple singers and temptations.

Y’all Have mercy.

She was beautiful!!

Wisemen Wisemen hi

This is one of the greatest soul songs! Let me tell you something soul music is still in my heart as well as my mind. Call calming, & Truely A very beautiful thang

It sounds faster which is unfortunate. I wanted to hear them sing the original.

Jesus Christ himself could walk out on that stage and somebody would say 'he's not like I imagined him; I prefer the other one.'

I love Princes story of how when working with her she kept calling him Prin...he says he kept telling her..
"Mavis, My name is Prince"..

That's how we say prince down south "prin"

I dedicate this song to my late husband. He's NOT dead, he's just LATE. I know he'll show up eventually, lol.

Omg, you are the cutest..lol

We’re in the same boat sister

Some are potentially dead when late 😂

This sister is so full of the HOLY GHOST......
she can't help herself. its AWESOME! But, she's trying to hold IT in....awe.
She did get the message out for the church folk. Everyone else was just jamming. I still love this song. It was in my spirit. Was very young when I heard it back then. I wish they would have just let GOD take us ALL the way there with this song. Like King David, this chic would have danced outta her clothes! HALLELUJAH!

She sounds kinds horse.... Look how slim she was back then

She's 80 now, she ain't tryna bring n0 sexy back...L0L

love me some staple singers and mavis staples is my favorite

One of the 1st alternative bands.
Rock, soul, RNB, jazz, boogie, bluegrass... All in one little ol' band.

Y'all lookit dat live orchestra backin da Group

the magic of h

I can't go nowhere with demons my spirit wont let me.

If Aretha was the Queen of Soul, Mavis is the Royal High Princess. I love how she goes into the zone-it's like she's in a trance, she goes so deep.

Damn RIGHT!!!

I miss this music so much. Just got to dance. So talented so beautiful. Brilliantly amazing.

Shamone

Shommon

Mavis is one with the music

Shamone

I Love You Mavis !

They should be dressed in panties and thongs. Don't they know that it helps the music go down.

Mavis told me that Pops came off Dockery Plantation on Mississippi and learned how to play guitar from Charley Patton back in the late 20s and early 30s.

shamone...

"Pops" handled his business with that guitar...

Yeah he did. 💯

Indeed smooth and silky understated and mellow...rock on OG!

I would like to see the rest of the concert,..does it exist?

I definitely see Erykah Badu here through Mavis.
They played this set 💯!
I felt the Holy Spirit in this song. I felt like shouting and bending my shoes over in the name of Jesus!

I wouldn't insult Mavis by associating her with eryka badu, she was in her own league and definitely had more of a sultry voice, my take.

OG Shamone! 0:32

Great quality

Mavis made me feel tnis song look at her Gawd

She put her heart into that song

Pops killing them with that chain

Mavis sexy

Now that's a naturally beautiful black sister right there bro.

Definitive happy Mavis before she hit the bottle after that wreck of a marriage and before Stax bit the bullet. Wonderful.

I grew up with Motown Philly girl right here! Mad respect

Great, but volume could be a bit louder.

DJ Guzz hi

I absolutely love Mavis. Even up to date she's still so beautiful and her spirit is amazing.

The following link is a video of Irish singer Hozier featuring Mavis Staples. I don't think you will be surprised at the message...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2YgDua2gpk&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR0-IHqNzEuGWwtCmZ_R5InObecXlKyJXZmwWVo5yasT6q9DMedvToXjY9Y

Thank you for sharing. Rest in peace Yvonne.

May Yvonne rest in peace. She was one of my favorites from the group.
