Members DRW50 Posted February 23, 2013 Members Share Posted February 23, 2013 Sorry to hear this. I loved the Staples and their music. She was one of those singers who seemed to feel and live her music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted February 23, 2013 Author Members Share Posted February 23, 2013 From such a wonderful time in music... in today's business, a man like Roebuck Staples wouldn't even get considered for a recording contract. And they'd want Mavis to wear something real skimpy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
