There are certain songs that were so universally popular that they define moments in our lives. Well the Staple Singers' "I'll Take You There" definitely qualifies as one of those songs. Written by Alvertis Isbell, produced by Al Bell this song was the number one song nationally by June of 1972 and it hasn't stopped playing somewhere since!
There sound has never been duplicated and I don't believe it ever will. Here's just a small taste of a classic.
Here they are: Pops, Mavis, Cleotha and Yvonne hailing from Chicago by way of Mississippi! The Staple Singers!

I just been watching Miss Congeniality 2 and got hooked on this track.... didn't know who it was and good old 'you tube' came up trumps as usual. What a voice!! Listened to a couple of other tracks...very 70's....yet contemporary too ...am loving it !!
