I know a place Ain't nobody cryin' Ain't nobody worried Ain't no smilin' faces Lyin' to the races Help me, come on, come on Somebody, help me now (I'll take you there) Help me, ya'all (I'll take you there) Help me now (I'll take you there) Oh! (I'll take you there)
Beyond this performance by this singer, it's kind of appalling that television just doesn't do music performance well. This one show, now gone? Excellent work.
Who is in the band? Dr John on piano. Is that Tom Scott on sax? Lead guitarist (sitting down?) is Jeff...? Great sound! See that Lorne Michaels was the producer.
when down, hopeless, uncertain, sad, worried..listen to Mavis's beautiful voice...or just humm this song, think sbout it..she'll take u there:) will give u smiling face:) worries wil go away, will lift the spirit.
Mavis Staples really sings from bottom of her heart when she says "i'll take you there:)love u mavis..ur fan Armand:)
Mavis could throw it down on this song in all kainsa ways - any way she wanted to. The house fell down that nite. The city was funkified (can hear that fabulous gospel thing in theah) - Mavis turned that city into one seriously right-on happening place when that show went down. She is one of the greatest vocalists of all time, in the history of music.
please meet the next Mavis Staples I went to her show last night I was amazed to see how close this young lady resembles the vocal style of Ms. Staples

u can also find her on you tube under mizzbehavin
The groove happening there(that session) - good lawd, mon. The thing was so happening, it's just ridiculous. Small-club atmosphere thing going with the legendary Mavis Staples right there, with them, saanngiiin it!
I heard of this little lady until the other night. She has absolutely brilliant voice! I think she should do a duet with Tina Turner, Daryl Hall or even Andrew Roachford!!!
I saw Mavis perform last year. She was asked what she thought about singers like Beyonce who's career is based so much on looks. She said, "Well, I used to be a Beyonce, and I can tell you that if Beyonce keeps on living, one day she will be a Mavis".
Mavis Staples is the truth! Dr. John, Jeff Beck, Marcus Miller and David Sanborn..... It's a good thing it stopped when it did, or I would've been out in the streets dancing!
bien,con dr. John y Jeff Healey

Mavis asked if they could do 'A House Is Not A Home' and David replied, "You lay it down and we'll pick it up."
Is there any chance you have that video? By far, it's my favorite version of that song.

The late Jeff Healy is also on GTR. Blind player who could rock it, jazz or funk it. He'll be missed. I think H. Bullock has passed away as well
