		Pops Staples was born in 1915 in Winoma, Miss., where he heard the blues of Charley Patton, Ma Rainey, Son House and others, and was inspired to take up the guitar himself.
		Pops Staples died last year at the age of 85, but Mavis is still going strong as a solo artist, and will no doubt be a continuing inspiration for years to come.

	Roebuck Pops Staples and the Staples Singers, Mississipi musicians
		Explains Staples, "Affirmative music was just a thought I had to myself that I could sing something and get people to listen, and maybe they would be better to one another." He is a songwriter and guitarist who has influenced pop, rock, RandB, blues, and especially gospel music.
		In the 1930's, Staples pioneered the use of blues guitar in gospel music, and in the 1960's he aroused the anger of traditionalists by successfully moving from purely gospel material to creating music with a wider message and appeal.
		Now in his fifth decade in the music industry, Pops Staples is a rock upon which is built several generations of beautiful, uplifting music, both sacred and secular.

	Mavis Staples
		The record failed to catch on, however, perhaps because Pops' down-home reverberating guitar, which would become a trademark of their style, was overshadowed by a rinky-tink piano.
		By the time the Staples joined Stax in 1968, they were performing on bills with major rock acts at venues like Fillmore West and East.
		Finally adopting a secular image and changing their name to "The Staples," the group continued to record prolifically, but few of their sides matched the artistic brilliance and commercial success of thier classic Stax sessions.
