When Ms Mavis opens her mouth, Truth and Goodness come out. That’s quite a talent to have. God bless her.
The Good Lord has Blessed her from the day she was born. !!
One of the very best female vocalists i have ever had the pleasure of hearing, this woman is amazing
Omg I love this woman, she is something very special
For those of us that truly love, love music all you have to say is: MAVIS, enough said and as much as a million words said otherwise!!!
An American Treasure, Miss Mavis Staples...real meal deal!!
Mavis, what a talent
Mavis, a National Treasure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Mavis . Love ❤️
How sweet the sound of Mavis singing!
I love to watch and listen to Mavis Staples perform. Steve Miller - Los Angeles
This is unbelievable,what a treat!
One of the greatest ... ever.
Agreed what a show..... all class
She so excellent.
Makes me shiver, goose bumps, the lot.
Mavis we love you
The timbre of a classic black voice and presentation ALWAYS warms my heart, makes me so appreciative and enriched and privileged. I can't even imagine rock/folk not forever married to southern black gospel. It's so humbling...thank you.
I watched this show the year my Grandfather passed away with dementia. I stayed at my Nan's house. I actually felt love again and I'm not even being soft. It was a tough year. I'd love to go watch this show new years eve.
makes me glad to be alive and a music fan
Love it!
Just Picture seeing mavis to start and then prince/ I did and I will never forget that night so special ❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️Mavis, legend, icon and talent!
One of my favourite performances on Hootenany 👍🏻
Mavis Rocks
I first heard of, and saw Mavis Staples on a DVD video of a live concert performance (in 2016, or around then) with a large group of other performers. It was a tribute to the late Levon Helm, called ‘Love for Levon’ in Rutherford, NJ. ‘The Weight’ was the last one done at the end of the show with her and all the others who were there. I’ve liked her ever since then, and now have other videos that she’s done. I also ‘discovered’ at that time some others I wasn’t familiar with, like Roger Waters, Ray La Montaigne (? sp.), Grace Potter, and some more. Stevie Nicks was there, as well as more artists who I did know of. BTW: Mavis did a great performance of ‘I’ll Take You There’ during another one of her own concerts. I’m 67 now, and was a classical pianist and organist since I was 5, but like all genres of music (except for rap and ‘real’ heavy metal type music), but it’s difficult for me to even try to put her style of singing into any one category - she’s in a class of her own!
If class could be bottled, you'd call the concoction Mavis.
What a voice ❤
Great woman, Great song ‼︎ Forever Mavis.
Been watching Jools some years now best ever

Amazing.
Awesome !
parabéns Mavis, você canta com alma!
never thought there would be another version to compare with the one in the last waltz, but here it is. only one thing in common between the two.
C'est une légende vivante ! Elle n'aimerait pas que l'on dise cela !!
joools! mavis! the band! epic....
performance of the night by a long way
Walter Sobchak TRUE

RIGHTEOUSSSSS
living legend!
I believe Mavis is the only one still alive from The Staple Singers
Genial
Mavis!!!!
Happy birthday Mavis 💚
Great the Band
❤❤❤❤
Amen!
5:02 sums it up
WOW!!!
Give it up for Mr Rick Holdstrom, Mavis’s long term guitarist. A master of the Telecaster.
Wow...au natural, no digital boosters... How To Sing, lessons one thru 1,000...
And Jools sings occasionally, but here he knows not to step into the circle of light...
Easy rider ❤❤❤
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
WHY BBC NO UPLOAD Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, THEY WERE THE BEST!
Rick Holmstrom is a great guitarist in Mavis's band !
Would love to listen to Mavis Staple in a duet with Van Morrison.
I'd love it! I think they'd get off on each other.
God Is Music
Ms. Mavis is God.
Amen!
Hello
spettacolare
MAVIS OH MAVIS
I’m not 100% positive, BUT I think was Mavis who performed (along with a choir) in a concert with Elton John (BBC Radio 2 in London, ‘16) with the song ‘Levon’ and the other members of his band and special guests (i.e. 2CELLOS). IF I’m correct, it’s really worth listening to and watching her!
They don't make voices like this any more.
I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead
I just need some place where I can lay my head
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my hand, "no" was all he said
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)
I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on let's go downtown"
She said, "I gotta go but my friend can stick around"
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)
Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
It's just ol' Luke and Luke's waitin' on the Judgment Day
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favor, son, won'tcha stay and keep Anna Lee company?"
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)
Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
He said, "I will fix your rack if you'll take Jack, my dog"
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man"
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can"
Yeah, take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)
Catch a cannon ball now to take me down the line
My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)
22/12/2022: my bag is sinking low
Oker
"Catch a cannonball..." is the last verse, not crazy Chester.
AsFewFalseThingsAsPossible nobody cares
yep
Here's the version recorded 44 years earlier by Mavis & her family and The Band: ruclips.net/video/ccJTFXvkXkA/видео.html
Fantastic vocal. Shame about the drummer and guitarists.
Love it!
