About Stax Records
Stax Records, now owned by Concord/Craft Recordings, was founded by Jim Stewart in 1957 in Memphis, Tennessee. It rose from a small, family-operated company to become one of the most influential soul music record labels in the world, helping create “The Memphis Sound” and launching the careers of icons such as Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, Booker T. & the M.G.’s, the Staple Singers, Sam & Dave, Rufus and Carla Thomas, The Bar-Kays, and dozens of other artists who helped change popular culture forever. In all, Stax placed 167 hit songs in the Top 100 in Pop and 243 hits in the Top 100 in R&B.
Stax Records works closely with the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, the Stax Music Academy, and The Soulsville Charter School, all operated by the Soulsville Foundation and all located on a vibrant campus at the original site of Stax Records in Memphis, TN. The Soulsville Foundation perpetuates the soul of Stax Records by preserving its rich cultural legacy, educating youth to be prepared for life success, and inspiring future artists to achieve their dreams.

Oh we here baby
We here 2024 & 5, hopefully 🎉
In 1972 I was 11 years old in Newark New Jersey. My mommy played this on a 45 over and over. She still dancing to this song 🎵. Great memories. God is still blessing ❤
This is so sweet!
I too was 11 years old when I first heard this song. It takes me right back to my childhood home in Philly where I had so much hope for a beautiful world!
This is real music.
"UM but Tay Tay!"
Me: "shut up"
yb better
Yeah, it's easy to love this song!!!
Yes real music often seems to be a thing of the past 😢😮😅😊
Facts !
My favorite song since I was 7 years old. Im 56.. Still my song❤❤❤
Glad Pops said to his family, "Let's spread out our wonderous music to the entire world."
My uncle wrote song Al Bell after one of uncles was murdered. The lyrics came to my uncle sitting in a bus my grandaddy bought to calm him down about losing a younger brother
I'm 70 and I can tell you something about the Staples Singer 2024💕
I'm 68 and Mavis rules
I'm 70 too. We were Rockin hard to the Staple Singers.
Im 71 danced with my deplorable friends to this music 🎶 ❤😊
I am 70 and still can't get enough of this song. Love it!
I'm 62, I remember seeing them on TV...
TRULY SPECIAL childhood MEMORIES!!!!!!!!
💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏
This phenomenal music NEVER GETS OLD. Share with our young to help them understand where they come from. ❤❤❤
I'm watching Mavis in concert on TV right now and she's 83 years young and she still sounds great in 2023🎉🎉❤❤
God bless her
One of the most soulful songs ever written and performed!
Recovering from depression, alcohol and drug dependency. Been feeling better and better.... This song lifts me so much. Love to all!
God loves you. Happy Easter!
@@elizabethd.2398 And to you!
Hope you can overcome it all i'm praying for you have faith.
@@Puckhog Hello my friend. I have been six months sober, I have a new place, just finished a course for a new job and I feel incredible. I found a real sense of calm and I'm doing my best to help others in the same situation. Thank you for your kindness. Without the support of kind souls like yourself I wouldn't have made it this far. Much love.
I often forget about this post and then every now and then I get a notification saying someone liked the message. It's such a good feeling to know people out there are kind and supportive to a stranger on UA-cam! My life is going great, I have a wonderful partner and I am on my way back to being a Fire Fighter again. Something I thought I had lost forever. Thank you for all your kindness, I do my best to put that out in the world moving forward. The little things do make a huge difference.
One of the greatest songs of all time. If this don't wanna make ya get up and dance nothin will
That's exactly right well put
Amen
Amen
Amen
AMEN!
That funky bass will NEVER get old...
The intro and bass line are taken from "The Liquidator" by the Harry J All-Stars
The lyrics are wrong during the bass solo. David was the bass player's name. Mavis sings Davey not baby Little Davey (cuz he was short) Davey not Lady. Recorded by the Swampers in Muscle Shoals. There's a movie about them, they backed up Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Rolling Stones and had Dwayne Alman living in a tent in the studio parking lot.
@@BiggieTrismegistus no
@@scottblakey1603 Thank you for catching that. I hate copyright infringement.
@@sleestak42 What do you mean "no"? The intro and bass are blatantly taken from "The Liquidator" by the Harry J All Stars. A quick listen confirms it.
Pop Staples and his beautiful daughters....MERCY!!!
❤
600 people not only didn't like this song but made it a point to let us know that. What's wrong with you people?
Let's say they hit the dislike button on accident 😊
No taste
It's called FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
Don't it a shame.
Tasteless idiots every one of them
Whoever put this together ... fantastic job! Thank you.
My uncle Al Bell
My mom passed away from a combination of Alzheimers and COVID-19 last year. She was 94 and this was her favorite song back in the day and until she knocked on the gates of Heaven.
Mom, may the Creator rest your soul in eternal peace and paradise. ❤
R.ip. to your mother. ❤️
I'm sorry for you loss
Condolences
God bless you ✝
😔❤️🙏🏽
RIP Mom! Ma she rest in peace!!
Beautiful 💖💖🙏🙏
Forever one of the best songs of allllll time.
And singers Mavis Staples!
Without any shadow of doubt... Outstanding..
If you want to funk, ho big!
@@mreunome q
Absolutely agree with you!!!
In memory of Martin Luther king one great song by a great group of singer's my favorite music all their songs are great😅😅😅
I was 17 when this song came out, it was perfect for civil rights, and it's still perfect for church.
Amen and Amen !
aint nothing wrong with this song
It’s perfect for life!
God bless the Staple family.
Today, December 5th the founder of Stax Records passed away - Jim Stewart . Jim created the space to record so many great music like The Staple Singers, Rufus Thomas, Wilson Pickett, David Porter and Otis Redding. Thank you for the great music Jim...
Fact check. He did but my uncle Al Bell wrote the song that Took u there. To a place where ain't no smiling faces lying to the Race.
The legends are passing more each day 😢

This song’s beautiful and so meaningful. This song says so much and with not a lot of lyrics but the message, the groove and that era was so powerful. No matter your race; freedom, enjoying life is universal. As a kid back in the 70’s I do remember the good times and coming together in the neighborhood. What a classic by a classy music loving family. Peace out ✌️
it's a classic .just watched secretariat and it was in that when they're dancing around the horse . great timeless classic that never gets old or outdated ..this song music and lyrics really speaks to me . about going into new territory and victories
top comment .this is one of the GREAT ones . becoming more recognised with time how good it is .and got to say the pictures just add to the weight of the song .so inspiring
I know a place, nobody crying there...
lying to the races...... what was that line about?
@@SkyBlue-ju5il I'm 65 and I've listened to the Staple singers for decades. They're talking about politicians who lie to minorities promising them free stuff like food stamps ( EBT card), free housing in tenement buildings infested with rats ( I remember those in the 60s), free this free that promising Blacks and Hispanics the moon but almost never delivering anything but more crime and more generational poverty. See the song " Ball of confusion" where the singer says " Vote for me and I'll set you Free!"
RACISM?@@SkyBlue-ju5il
Anyone else notice how Mavis can sing that super low note in the interlude!! All I got say is wow!! Perfection, she could make her voice sound like a base!! Rich and gorgeous!
Hello Amy
Even my 11 year old granddaughter loves this song. When she listens to gospel music this song is definitely on her playlist.🥰👍
Oh mmmm I know a place Aint nobody crying Aint nobody worried Aint no smiling faces Lying to the races Help me come on come on somebody help me Ill take you there. Help me now. Osho will take you there. Buddha will take you there. Mahavira will take you there. Jesus will take you there. Krishna will take you there. Khalil will take you there. Rumi will take you there. But once there you must walk the path yourself for each person's path is different.
Who else here thought this was going to be the Deadpool song.
In July 2024. This is beautiful! This is MUSIC!
What a wonderful job of putting pictures with the music to make a statement !!! Thank you ✌️🤓👍. Tears in my eyes.💖

,,,no more smiling faces, LYING TO THE RACES". Great lyric.
Still relevant in 2022!
what does it mean? I keep wondering. We sang this at church a lot and I never understood this part
Politicians lying with a smile on their face.
@@grampsrivera9771 You got it.
@tamarunitamaruni4724 presidents saying "I'm a candidate for all people" then call nqzis "Very fine people"
Pure soul music 🎶
Yep, and done by the Muscle Shoals Swampers, and bunch of white guys! Awesome
This was recorded in Muscle Shoals Alabama with The Swampers, some of the best studio musicians that ever lived. She is calling them out: Barry (Beckett), play your piano, Daddy (Pops Staples) play your guitar and David, Little David (Hood) on bass!
Thanks
That's cool I never knew that! Thanks
Written by my uncle Al Bell professionally known as. Thank u Alvertis Isbell
Good to know. Perhaps we can get the lyrics right now when singing along 😂
Old School where life was amazing.. I went there too lol...

KAMALA HARRIS 2024! TRUMP? 20 TO 24 YEARS. YOU KNOW WHAT? THROW AWAY THE KEY👋🏼 GOD BLESS AMERICA GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
The glaring problem with this song is that it's too short. I don't know how you would write this song down and do it justice. Brilliant.
Absolutely ❤
Better times!!! Before the internet/cell phone area.
Come with me. Peace lies within your heart. I can show you the path. The rest is up to you.:)
Many Bible verses say that God is within you;. not just in church. Otherwise, why do they lock the doors??? 🤔
Yes this song is for all that's been touched by God of any kinda of form brings chills of what you're feeling are been feeling are in your feelings very powerful message we're come a long ways of all racist may we not forget that keep striving for greatness God's Plan

Love the Mo- Toun move the Song has
I remember that songs in the 70 When I listened to it on the radio and dancing at the parking lot
Is there a better song? I guess..but that depends on a lot of thing's doesn't it.
Yes David it depends on a multitude of things🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷👣
The good times and good place 😊thanks
The instruments and the bass make the song 🔥🔥 I love it
Thank the Swampers in Muscle Shoals for this.
This song is from way before my time, I first knew it from the enterprise rental car commercials in the 90s. I don't think I ever truly gave it a listen until my late 20s but wow there really is something magical, comforting and uplifting about this song. It's so simple and yet every part of it is executed so perfectly and joyfully, the older I get the more I appreciate it.
At 1:50, when the bass guitar is featured, Mavis says "David, little David" - not "baby" or "lady". "David" is David Hood, bass player for the legendary Muscle Shoals session players "The Swampers", also mentioned in Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama."
Just can't stop listening to this songs, just can't stop thinking about the youthful days, you seem to love the music alot right, I can tell from your comment, they will be so glad to know that people are out there who cares and appreciate them so dearly.....by the way nice meeting you on here, I hope you are having a wonderful time out there right ????
I love learning these details that most don’t know about!
💞Sweet Home Alabama!💞
She also sings "Play it Barry..." when the piano is featured, but it's missing from this video's lyrics.
God. Bless. You. All. I. Love. Good. Music❤
Bow, to Queen Mavis.
My dad and I listened to this over 45 years ago..I loved this then n now...RIP dad🙏
May he be at peace.......
David little David
David david little. Need you here to help me out
Play it Barry play yo play yo piano now all right.
David little david i need you here to help me out come on little david
2022 and this eargasmic song still sounds amazing !❤️💃
This song has an excellent beat
Just the facts
We should all Seek God our Lord and Savior the one that sent Jesus to die for our sins before its too late.
May God Bless You all and your loved ones.
Such a Powerful Song still to this day....
This Song 🎶🎼 is Gospel 🙏💘 Gimme that Funky Church Beat!🎹🎺🎸🥁🎤🎚️💐🍀🌹
Mavis Staples is just the best to ever do it
Legendary and extraordinary! Women singing through oppression and starting movements!
Most ppl don't realize they are singing about heaven
i thought that too but can you explain the line NO MORE SMILING FACES just doesn't make sense to me it should say no more sad faces if it's about going to heaven
@@margogonzalez1040 no more smiling faces lying to the races. you say it together
@@margogonzalez1040 they're talking about deception
@@margogonzalez1040 Referring to "worldly" events. i.e., politicians & social injustices
@@indirussell7083 Exactly!
IT"S LITTLE DAVID meaning David Hood Bassist of Muscle Shoals !!!!
Very simply one of the funkiest jams ever!!!
Great song! Number one on the Top 40 billboard charts 50 years ago today on Saturday, June 3, 1972. Half-century ago the summer of '72 became a happy-go-lucky time for a 6 year-old like me. What a fun summer 1972 was.
Memphis magic.
I moved here in 2010 and will always cherish the artists here.
Just want to say thankyou to everyone who has left messages of support here. I'm sorry if I haven't replied to everyone, wish I had! I'm truly grateful and inspired by the positivity and care shown here.... And of course you all have excellent musical taste. Love and appreciate you all. If you're in recovery yourself, stay strong and I promise it's worth it!
I say AMEN to that, Brother.
Remain blessed.
You can beat whatever is trying to take you down. God bless you
Thank Yall for kind words. The Isbells still taking u there in 2024
Sing 🎤 sing Girls 👧🏼 sing.Love
I love the staple singers and there songs and what they stand for from what is going on in this world right now
A blended harmony that is not merely ornamental-but, always so RICH in COSMIC PORTENT!
❝Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.❞ -Ludwig Van Beethoven
Richard Iritano
"A blended harmony that is not merely ornamental-but, always so RICH in COSMIC PORTENT!"
What the heck does that mean? What is COSMIC PORTENT?
Yep, Beethoven, Chopin et al had it right.
My mind goes to another place!
Help me! I’ll take you there!

I have listened to this song hundreds of times every year since it came out and it always brings me up!
Can you feel it now!
still relevant in 2020
More than ever!
Always
They are the bomb
Yep
Yes definitely more than ever
It's not just the lyric's, the drums,vocals and well the "Queen of Soul". I really enjoy attempting to play along.
Keep up good work
Baby Aretha Franklin is the Queen of Soul,but Mavis is the Queen of Real.Thank you,Casey Grimes-Finley, Chicago,Illinois
@@kaygrimes5657 I was just about to say. Aretha is the Queen. Close, but not quite there. Lol
@@kaygrimes5657There’s lots of Queens of soul who sang it well just like the great Aretha. There’s room for many Queens. Angela winbush and Patti Labelle can sing very good.
It'll live on forever more. One of the best of the Staples.
This was not only a great song, but an anthem
I love it 🤩 so much 😍
Help me now
Come on, little lady
All right
Dum-dum-dum-dum
Doin' sockin' soul
Aaaaaaah, oooh, aaaaah
I know a place, y'all
(I'll take you there)
I'm 68 and in the UK = this was an American import, so a bit of an under the counter purchase! Loved it then and still do!
Such a soulful voice! Real passion during times of unrest.
Mavis Staple was there Monterey jazz festival 2024
Love this song from way back! Feeling a little depressed today due to a couple of deaths and the family and just life! I just told myself I wanted to listen to the song and it lifted me up! Thank Mavis’ Pops and all!
Praying for your strength. I lost 2 sons 9 months apart it's ok grieve CRY SCREAM!
My uncle Al Bell wrote song for staple singers. Thank u for tha luv
Come on y'all, we
need tons of more songs like
these. Thank you
NF and all the others ! ❤
Like Bob Dylan, I want to marry Mavis! One of the Greatest recordings of all-time...
You got this and you are not alone! Awesome song...my go to pick me up on a bad day.
That's s song takes me all the way back to the very early 70's... memories of elementary school.
A TRUE CLASSIC/LEGENDS
I wish I still had my 45 of the Staples, I'll take you there, great song

I’m fortunate to have kept every 45 of this fabulous group, Marlene. I also like, among others they recorded when the Staples moved to other labels, a song called “Slippery People”
I remember my parents playing this records in my childhood. #great track. Thanks for uploading. :))

These lyrics are incorrect. She says David, little David not baby or lady. She is speaking to David Hood the incredible bass player. just as Barry play your piano now is Barry Beckett. They along with Roger Hawkins on drums and Jimmy Johnson on guitar were the greatest session players ever. The song was recorded in Muscle Shoals. Also they are Flying to the Races, not lying to the faces. I think this is copyright infringement.
My uncle Al Bell wrote song
I would play this song everyday when it hit the radio in Seattle Washington, one of the best, right too your soul
A very lovely song.💃💕👩🍳.I love this song (Sing Girls 👧🏼 Sing 🎤
This has been all time favorite of mine sliding back to AM radio days.... Best music ever is old school, everyone can dance to and sing along..✌🏼💖
The Billboard Hot 100 #1 song on my 13th birthday in '72...needed to be at that position for longer than a week! ♫No more smiling faces / Lyin' to the races♫?!?! Sing it loud and proud in 2020!!!!!
I saw Mavis in concert in 2019, absolutely a spiritual experience…
This is the frist group that I saw and knew I wanted to be and on stage as well I saw them at mc victors theater in Chicago
