Mavis Staples - Eyes on the Prize
The Staple Singers
I nominate this as one of the dopest dance scenes in a movie ever! This dance scene is featured in 1978 comedy film A Piece of the Action. They are dancing to Mavis Staple’s song you guessed it “A Piece of the Action”. For all the hip-hop heads, this was sampled in “Throw The Ball”.
Artist: Mavis Staples
Track: Down In Mississippi
Album: We’ll Never Turn Back
mavis staples is god.
i already posted this to my main blog but i am putting it up on this one too because hands down this is my favorite song at the moment. i absolutely love this song and love mavis staples! i wish i knew her she is seriously way cool and amazing from what i can tell. i listen to her or her and pops back when he was alive and they were the staple singers and i instantly feel all warm and happy inside… her music and aura are beautiful and it’s like a big hug for my soul. mavis staples is my happy spot lately. haha.
