Mavis Staples, Philadelphia, 2004

Mavis Staples began singing with her family in a band in the 1950s.  They started off singing in church, but soon rose to become one of the most well known voices in gospel music.  By the 1960s the Staple Singers became one of the voices of the civil rights movement.  With Mavis God has always been at the center of her music.

Blind Boys Of Alabama, Three Shows, 2007 and 2009

The Blind Boys of Alabama are a gospel group from Alabama that first formed at the Alabama Institute for the Negro Blind at Talladega, Alabama in 1939. The three main vocalists of the group and their drummer/percussionist are all blind.  As of 2010, The Blind Boys of Alabama continue to tour nationally and internationally, with Jimmy Carter singing lead vocals. In 2006, Clarence Fountain, the group's former long-time lead vocalist and founding member limited his touring for health reasons. Founding member George Scott died on March 9, 2005 at the age of 75. Another founding member, Johnny Fields, died on November 12, 2009.  These guys are so full of spirit and soul, and I find there singing to be very uplifting.  These guys are the genuine article when it comes to the southern gospel sound.
