Description
Record album jacket front cover art. Signed. Label: Harlem Hitparade HHP-7001. -- The Staple Singers were a American gospel, soul, and R&B singing group. Roebuck "Pops" Staples, the patriarch of the family, formed the group with his children Cleotha (born 1934), Pervis (b. 1935), Yvonne (b. 1936), and Mavis (b. 1939). The family began appearing in Chicago-area churches in 1948, and signed their first professional contract in 1952. [1] During their early career they recorded in an acoustic gospel-folk style with various labels: United Records, Vee-Jay, Riverside, and then Epic Records in 1965.
