The Staple Singers had that mellow delivery on every Song they touched; both Vocals and Instrumentation were inspirational. Their music is a true representation of what songs should sound like; please take a listen here and have a serene Wednesday: Let's do it again , Respect yourself , Uncloudy day , Will the circle be broken , For what it's worth , Heavy makes you happy (Sha -Na- Boom Boom) , If you're ready (come go with me) and I'll take you there
