Mavis Staples has been a soul and gospel music legend for more than 50 years. Her work fronting the legendary Staple Singers defined the sound of politically-committed soul and influenced generations of musicians. As a solo artist, she has helped to define much of what is righteous and soulful in American music. There are few who can claim to have been performing as long as Mavis, let alone to her standards. This album captures her live at the Union Chapel in London with her band performing some of the greatest songs from her musical catalog, while celebrating her 79th birthday.
