amerikansk gospel-, soul- och R&B- sånggrupp Från Wikipedia, den fria encyklopedin
Staple Singers var en amerikansk gospel-, soul- och R&B- sånggrupp. Roebuck "Pops" Staples (1914–2000) bildade gruppen tillsammans med sina barn Cleotha (1934–2013)[2], Pervis (1935–2021[3]) och Mavis (1939–). Yvonne (1937–2018)[4][5] ersatte brodern Pervis 1970. Gruppen är mest känd för låtarna "Respect Yourself", "I'll Take You There", "If You're Ready (Come Go with Me)" och "Let's Do It Again, som de hade hits med under 1970-talet. Trots att deras familjenamn är Staples, använde gruppen "Staple" kommersiellt.
