I agree. Uncle Raymond was a damn good song writer, composer, guitarist, and producer. I miss him so much. Dad and uncle Raymond worked together at Stax after serving in the Vietnam War.
Sitting here listening to this amazing song during The PLANDEMIC in May 2020. Wondering why I have to live during these horrible times. I was born in 1963 and lived through the amazing 60s and 70s when America was truly great and the original music from that time was absolutely amazing! Dear God please rewind this Earth back 50 years!
Hi all. I´m just some white dude that embrace all kinds of music, always roaming youtube for new old tunes to discover and lo and behold, the Staple Singers caught my attention. Loved this catchy tune from the moment I clicked the play button. Oldies rules. Peace all.
I know a place. Ain't nobody crying. Ain't nobody worried. Ain't no smiling faces, lieing to the races. Help me. Come on. Come on. Somebody help me now. Help me y'all. Help me now. Oh. Oh. Oh. Mercy. Oh. Let me take you there. Ohhhhh. Let me take you there. Play it Barry. Play your; play your piano now. All right. Do it. Come on now. Play on it. Play on it. Daddy now. Daddy. Daddy. Dad...Ooo Lord. All right. Now. Baby. Good ddle Dee. I need you hear.
God bless Rick Hall, The Swampers and all the stellar artists that passed through that wonderful oasis of colour blindness that was Muscle Shoals. For this 70 year old, as a budding musician and singer growing up in drab post war London, every one of you changed my life.
boy!! didn't I tell you to take the garbage out (reading comic books and watching cartoons on Saturday morning) I'm not gonna tell you again!! 🤣🎶🎶 staple singers music on the turntable
Pervis Staples, who sang harmony and also provided quieter forms of support during the rise to gospel stardom of his family’s group, the Staple Singers, died on May 6 at his home in Dolton, Ill. He was 85. Playing this with him in mind!
Full of soul. Love the bass in the foreground, the runs are sublime. Absolutely brilliant. Just a coming together of good music. Harmonica in the back ground.
Robin Perry, Yes it was, so simple, but yet so complicated at the same time. So much of our lives were stolen by the non smiling faces and lying to the races. But I'll take you there reminds me of the world I'm leaving behind, and all of it's crap in 2019. I'll take there meaning heaven in my eyes. Thank God I had a few short yrs of my childhood days of just being simple and free Mercy!!!! You see...... I have stage 4 Cancer and I can't wait to get there, I am the last living person in my immediate family. God Bless our youthful days of being simple, because the younger generation will never know those days like we experienced them. And as you go through your own blasting bliss in Harlem on 125th St. Dancing and singing having fun, always remember it's the music that sparks our memories of how life really was so simple. Take care and I'll catch you on the other side....That is if you believe?...... Phoenix Az. 2019
Hi, plz drop the Amon-Ra when speaking of GOD. Amon-Ra was an evil, GIANT, killer. Who murdered us with NO remorse! He would kill off the males an save the females for his own sex slaves. I mean Harem is what we call it now a days. The church just changed one vowel. And why would they do that anyway. Just a conisadens I know, I know. But plz I beg you? 🥴 GOD bless!
Alot of the music from this Era are now being called oldies music on a radio station out here in Maine. I still like to refer to it as classic. Either way, I love it!
I never tire of any of yhe Staple Singer's music. I now have terminal cancer and I listen to them alot. It sort of assures me where I am going. I can't wait to get there. Sing it Mavis. !!!! I'll take you there.
Ich habe 3 Alben der Staples... höre sie immer wieder... zeitlos, wundervoll, nicht der Einheitsbrei von heute, Rhythmus, Melodie, Stimmen... man muss immer noch "Slow cha" tanzen....
Man I really miss the 70s. I grew up with this music and nothing else compares to it. We were lucky to have been able to live and breathe it. Wish I could go back.
ooooooh yes. music of my wild beautiful youth at age 66 in 2022 it still trips my soul and makes it smile. one of my funeral songs and I want everyone to stand up and sing. ill be singing right along with them oooooh yea! xx
Oh yes, living in Boston (1971) and listening to this great tune - and feeling groovy - a hippy child from Motown. Lead vocal is incredible. Many talented family -
I love this music what ever happen to this kind of music takes me back this is real soul we need more of this kind of soul May 25 2020 Take me back and respect yourself
Lord!! I feel like crying. It's been 50 years since my Uncle Raymond Jackson died. Uncle Raymond wrote this song with many other hit songs during his career at a Stax Records. I was just a kid but it still hurts to hear his songs in movies, commercials etc. Love you Uncle Raymond
"I'll Take You There" is a song written by Al Bell (using his real name Alvertis Isbell), and originally performed by soul/gospel family band the Staple Singers. Jackson co-wrote the Staple Singers' "If You're Ready (Come Go With Me)" and "Touch a Hand, Make a Friend".
This one of several big hits for the Staples Singers during the early to mid 70s. You couldn't turn on your radio without hearing something by the group
I was in the Navy, in downtown London, at the Douglas Hotel, having drinks after dinner. This song came on the sound system, and I fell into it's spell! Now this was a great sound system, and I swear that everyone there, was captured by it's funky groove. I could see everyone tapping their glasses to the beat! Who says that London doesn't swing? Oh yeah!!
This song still sounds good in July 2019!!
This sounds AWESOME on any day in any year!!!!!!
Oh yes it does
Yes it
AGREE
Yes ,,it sure does
This song never gets old
Was thinking the exact same thing!!!
I agree. Uncle Raymond was a damn good song writer, composer, guitarist, and producer. I miss him so much. Dad and uncle Raymond worked together at Stax after serving in the Vietnam War.
Ain't no unsmiling face's ❤😊
I am 65 this was during my time. Love the staples singers
God bless Mavis.

It is so refreshing to hear this type of music. Old school rules.
No doubt, no doubt, yes sir!
Exactly, sho' nuff! Right on! I can dig that kind of a positive response!🙏👍😎
Give me "old school" any day. I do not listen to the rap shit!
Oldies are a very rare kind of music just like the people who listen to oldies they to are unique and and by me

Wonderful, glad Mavis is still with us, what a voice.

A lot of incredible music came through FAME studios!! If you get the chance watch the documentary “Muscle Shoals”!

I watched Mavis Staples last night on a special tribute to Prince she's still got it going on at 80 years old. Her voice is fantastic.
Do not make me jealous.... Omg Xxxxxxxx 🎤🎸🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎤🎤🎤🎤
Mavis calling for help like she need help. She don't need no help she on it!
You need to hear Mavis staple sing Since I Fell For You. Lord ham mercy.
Did y'all know that barry and david were white boys with all of that soul. Some more blue eyed soul.
Oh takes me back to my youth in Harlem! Blasting this on 125th st. Everyone singing and dancing. Life was so simple

My step dad had this song....loved it when I very first it and I still do
Addicted to this a R&B junkie. Bama style. I blame for this. Grandpa got me hooked on blues. A nine years old.
What are you waiting on? We can both take each other there!!!😛😛😛
@monicasanders2355

Timeless, toe tapping, uplifting. And no one can perform it like Mavis. Thanks for posting it.
This is one of my Mom's songs she always had to snap her fingers and move her shoulders. RIP Betty Ruth Anderson. Love you Mom.

Welcome to Voices that
This song absolutely..takes me down. So cool, funky and fine:)
Lord!! I feel like crying. It's been 50 years since my Uncle Raymond Jackson died. Uncle Raymond wrote this song with many other hit songs during his career at a Stax Records. I was just a kid but it still hurts to hear his songs in movies, commercials etc. Love you Uncle Raymond
His legacy will live on forever and bring a smile to many who may need one just when they hear his lyrics.
I thought Al Bell wrote this song
"I'll Take You There" is a song written by Al Bell (using his real name Alvertis Isbell), and originally performed by soul/gospel family band the Staple Singers. Jackson co-wrote the Staple Singers' "If You're Ready (Come Go With Me)" and "Touch a Hand, Make a Friend".
@@UISTMAN59 👍
You're just attention seeking. Uncle Ray didn't write this song.
This song brings back a lot of memories ❤️
song of my youth. what songs and what times. oooooh yes. ill take you there xxx
Soul....Pure Sweet Soul! Nothin better than this to "take me there"!
The movie Casino brought me here. What an immaculate track !!
This one Always takes me there! More musical magic! TOO cool!
Here in December 2021. Covid can't stop us from jamming!
Fantastic they could never duplicate black music was the best. Never goes away soul gospel ♥️
Miss it
I always get a touch emotional listening to the lyrics ❤

Love it! I remember when this gem was released and blazed up the charts.
"MERCY!!!" Classic!!!
