About Mavis Staples
Mavis Staples is an American rhythm and blues, gospel, and soul singer whose career spans more than seven decades. She first rose to prominence as a member of The Staple Singers, the family group led by her father Roebuck “Pops” Staples. With hits like “Respect Yourself,” “I’ll Take You There,” and “If You’re Ready (Come Go With Me),” the group became a defining voice of the civil rights era, blending gospel roots with socially conscious soul music. Their message of empowerment and unity left a permanent mark on both popular music and American culture.
After the success of The Staple Singers, Mavis embarked on a solo career that showcased her powerhouse vocals and interpretive depth. She collaborated with artists across genres, from Prince — who produced her 1989 album Time Waits for No One — to modern indie and rock musicians such as Jeff Tweedy of Wilco, who produced acclaimed albums like You Are Not Alone (2010) and One True Vine (2013). These projects introduced her to new generations of listeners while affirming her place as one of the most versatile and enduring vocalists in contemporary music.
Beyond her musical achievements, Staples has become an enduring cultural figure and activist. Her work has always carried themes of justice, hope, and perseverance, resonating with audiences worldwide. Inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Blues Hall of Fame, she has also received Grammy Awards, a Kennedy Center Honor, and the National Arts Award. With her soulful voice and unshakable presence, Mavis Staples continues to embody the intersection of artistry and activism, solidifying her as a living legend.
