BIOGRAPHY
Mavis Staples was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1939, the youngest of four children. Her music career began at just 11 years old when she joined her family gospel band, The Staple Singers. Led by her father Roebuck “Pops” Staples, a close friend of Martin Luther King Jr., the spiritual-based group became a musical voice of the civil rights movement.
In 1968, the group signed to Stax Records and began their transition into the genres of soul and rhythm and blues. In a span of four years, between 1971 and 1975, The Staple Singers had two #1 songs and six others in the Top 40. They came to be referred to as “God’s greatest hitmakers.”

As we look forward to his return to the stage (hopefully this fall) and the opening of the Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa, Okla., housing his personal archives (in May 2022), we offer eight Top 10 lists about Minnesota s greatest living music icon from songs guaranteed to beat the pandemic blues to things we hope Dylan will do while he keeps pressing on.
