Disponible depuis le 13 novembre, Faith and Grace: A Family Journey 1953-1976, retrace en 4-CDs la carrière des Staple Singers. Fondé par Pop Staples en 1949 en compagnie de ses filles Mavis, Yvonne, Pervis et Cleedi, le groupe familial est rapidement devenu une référence de la scène gospel avant de devenir un des piliers de Stax Records et de la sol des années 1960-70 grâce à des standards comme « Respect Yourself”, “I’ll Take You There” et « Let’s Do it Again »
Cette nouvelle anthologie propose 80 titres (dont une version démo inédite de « Respect Yourself »), ans oublier un 45-tous collector comprenant les tous premiers enregistrements réalisés en 1953 par la grande famille du gospel, de la soul et du R&B.
