Song of the day returns with a gem. CBC2 is playing the crap out of this new song (yes new) from 74-year-old Mavis Staples of The Staple Singers fame. A great R&B/Gospel/Countryish tune that really gets you going. Enjoy. I’ll be doing some travel updating over the next few days, so much in the brain, so little time to spew it out.

Love the shot of the beluga whale!
Back with a bang!
Great tune, and you were missed.
Hope all is well up north.
Still be a bit slow on posting. Canadians live for summer.
Someone gave me a compilation of their old favs. There’s 2 Staple Singer songs on, and I really like them. _Resa
Likely Respect Yourself and I’ll take You There. Big hits in the day. Cleotha Staples died earlier this year. I was surprised to hear that Mavis had put out an album. Pleasantly surprised at the quality.
YES! Those are the songs! So sad when people die. Their music was amazing!
The style is making a bit of a comeback. Great group.
This is a great tune you’ve posted!
I actually shazamed it 4 times lol. CBC2 fave at the moment, at least Tom Power’s. He plays it a lot.
