Staples, Mavis - Slippery People Lyrics

I wonder why didn't you accompany this performance as a bonus DVD of the live in London album!

If this doesn't make you move, check ya pulse, you might be dead.

Mrs Staples, nailed it!

Way to go , Mavis & Co.! It was really refreshing to have this on the radio. It brought attenttion to the lyrics & one of my old Fav. Bands.

This was an awesome gig at my favourite venue Union Chapel, Islington !

buenísimo!!!!

To wonder who doesn't like this, perhaps is anti-fa. I'm alright with that. Quote me if you like.

I didn't think anyone could ever do justice to a Talking Heads song but I was wrong.

David Byrne played guitar on their version of this song and he's performed with Mavis Staples once or twice I believe

Shout out to the guitarist for adding flare and sweet strumming

A brilliant rendition of Talking Heads since 'Burning Down The House' by Bonnie Raitt.

Fantastic! This is real music !

👏👏👏

😂 Take it home Mavis!!!

2:48

Yes sister, pops forever

A living legend. Going to see Ms. Mavis at the Apollo in May. David Byrne will be there and will perform this with her. Will be INSANE.

Are you serious? Please let me know how that goes, that sounds amazing.

cant wait to see her live in May in Nashville

Mavis Staples has a way of moving a soul that has been in a coma...she breathes life into it...and makes it want to praise the Lord!

Complete s***

Your mama tenacious

God ain't done with you yet, Mavis! Great stuff!!

Sonny Young She’ll outlive us all

Damn, she sings low second octave notes better than George Michael!

Way back when the Staple Singers first started performing, she was assigned the low part until her brother his puberty. Then she was shifted to the lead part. True story. At age 12 she was singing bass. There is no one like Mavis.

So so good!

❤💖❤

I never realized that I needed this in my life

Excellent!

cool now

I've never heard of Mavis Staples before but you have my permission to use her picture on a sign that says "you must be at least this awesome to cover a Talking Heads song" because heck yeah

Check out the Pops Staples and the Staples Singers. You won't be disappointed.

you heard her and her dad before you just didnt know who they were,She a American Icon

...run down a video copy of "The Last Waltz" to check out Mavis and Pops singing with The Band, then dig a little deeper to find what you can on one of her mentors, the iconic Miss Clara Ward...

Nathan Hawks Pops was in David Byrne’s Talking Heads infused movie “True Stories”

She is a National Treasure. I'm reading her biography right now... How many people had recording contracts at age 12, and are still touring and performing at this level at age 80?
Just 1. Mavis.
Stevie Wonder may get there too, but he's just 69 this year.

LOVE MAVIS!!!!

yes!!!!!!!!!

im guessing theres a bluray coming, even if theres no mention on her site or on amazon of a bluray

Oh, how i wish i could have been there live! Even through the video i feel the energy..being in the audience must have been a phenomenal experience!

It was! Catch her if you get the chance.

You said it! But how come no-one's dancing?!? I'd be shaking my tail-feather like mad if I was there!!!

Mavis Staples covering one of my favorite talking heads songs. What's better than that? Salute!

I was about to comment but there was your comment right at the top just word for word what I was going to say.

amen! the Staples Singers covered it in the early 80s, even went on Soul Train with it.

*WOW !!!* if this doesn't stir ya deep down in your soul... ya ain't breathing and six feet under !!!
