Mavis Staples released her first, self-titled solo album in 1969. She was already a veteran performer with her family, the famed gospel act the Staple Singers. By the 1970s the group had become a successful crossover act on the pop charts, but Staplesā solo albums in the late 1970s and ā80s were not as popular. She had a surprise hit in 2004 with Have a Little Faith, a tribute album to her late father, and she received Grammy Awards for her later recordings.
