The Staple Singers where mainstays at Stax in the 60s and early 70s. When
Stax was forced to close it's doors in 1975 they signed to Curtis
Mayfield's Curtom label and achieved their second Billboard Hot 100 (and
third R&B) #1 hit with "Let's Do It Again", the title track from the
soundtrack album.
The success of both single and album attracted Warner Bros where they
would release their next three albums as The Staples: "Pass It On" (1976),
"Family Tree" (1977), "Unlock Your Mind" (1978).
Soul4Real has selected two tracks, "Take This Love Of Mine" and "Precious, Precious", from the first, Mayfield written and produced, Warner's album "Pass It On", for 7" vinyl release as neither has been previously released as a single.
Available to pre-order now from Soul4Real for release on 1st March 2024.

The Staples will always be in the firmament of Soul. 2 tracks from a remarkable LP with the touch of Curtis.
