This soul and gospel legend possesses one of the most recognizable voices in contemporary music. From The Staples Singers to her solo recordings, she has blazed an R&B trail without leaving her gospel roots and in the process influenced artists from Bob Dylan to Prince. A Lifetime Grammy winner, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member, and one of VH1's 100 Greatest Women of Rock and Roll, Mavis Staples is a force of nature.

The woman is a force! She's not only got one of the most unique voices in entertainment, she has a personality that makes the audience feel as if she is having an intimate conversation with them. She's rock - she's roll, and she's still got it together!
