Yes, 1950 is when Mavis Staples commenced her music career, joining with her father Pops Staples and her sisters for a long career as The Staples Singers.
In 2016, at 76 years young Mavis is still doing what she does best.
Creating music that's as individual as she is. Compelling, passionate, relevant and embodied in the gritty soul and gospel inspired vocals that she has honed over 60-plus years.

Not many artists have had to wait for 60 years for that to happen.
