  • This should be played in a Vietnam movie

  • The so-called ‘Flower power’ movement was comprised of the generation that spawned this lyric, as well as a significant proportion of the white kids that vigorously supported civil rights.

  • Always loved the Staple Singers and Buffalo Springfield and For What it's Worth but never new they (the Staple Singers) covered song....thank you!

    Just noticed that the cover on the 45 says 'Stop hey WATCH that sound' on the cover (at :14 and 1:37)...pretty funny.

  • Original = untouchable.

  • @13heavymetal WORD! Imagine "Lord of War" begin with the original, and then with this cover. Un-freacking-touchable, like a freacking blur!

  • Ilike this version alot, but honestly, I prefer the original.

  • what a great cover .

  • With all due respect, Jimmy: "RIP Flower Power"?

    I can't see how the Staples and whatever you consider "Flower Power" are mutually exclusive.

    In 1967, we were all pulling in the same direction.

  • RIP Flower Power? That must be why the world's in such great shape these days...

  • Head nodding,

    Toe tappin,

    They had a groove on.

    Wow!

  • It did get an official release on Colombia but was almost immediately withdrawn because the Staples had signed to Stax

  • Into your life the Staples will creep

  • How the hell did I never know about the Staple Singers before? THANK YOU Resistance 3!

  • @Soundnous i know man, i had never heard of them before, and now i love them

  • It's obviously a great version of the song, but I also liked the actual video, good job on it. It was done unusal but in a good way.

  • Thank you so much for this

  • praise God!!!

  • @cbm0rr0w YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • oh mymymy

    always loved this song but never heard this version before. What a gift, thank you.

  • Definite justice done here.

    Yes...and Pops was playing that guitar for sure.

    Thanks.

  • wow !!

  • Nice!

  • so so so silky smooth soulful . . . nicely departs from the iconic original

  • Wooo,

    second comment,

    Nice song too. :]

  • This is such an amazing version of this song, I have to get my hands on this 45 myself. Pops Staples was amazing on the guitar, he is still very much missed. His legend lives on through his music and his talented children. Thanks for posting this.
