For What It's Worth

Artist Bio:
The Staple Singers were an American gospel, soul, and R&B singing group formed in Chicago in 1948. The group was composed of patriarch Roebuck "Pops" Staples and his children Cleotha, Pervis, Yvonne, and Mavis Staples. Known for their rich harmonies and socially conscious lyrics, The Staple Singers became one of the most influential gospel groups in music history.

In the 1960s and 1970s, The Staple Singers transitioned to a more secular sound, incorporating elements of soul and R&B into their music. They achieved mainstream success with hits like "I'll Take You There" and "Respect Yourself," which became anthems of the civil rights movement. The Staple Singers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999 and received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005 for their contributions to music.
