From the freedom songs of the ?60s and hits like “I?ll Take You There" in the ?70s, to funked-up collaborations with Prince and her recent albums with Wilco?s Jeff Tweedy, Mavis has stayed true to her roots, kept her family close, and inspired millions along the way.. "Living legend Mavis Staples is fondly celebrated in Jessica Edwards' spirited biographical documentary." - Joe Leydon, Variety. "Even as she recalls career setbacks and personal disappointments, Staples displays rock-solid faith, unwavering confidence, and bubbly optimism." - Serena Donadoni, The Village Voice
