The Staple Singers entered the public consciousness in the early 1950s and over the course of their influential career changed the way listeners experienced gospel music.

During the civil rights movement, Roebuck "Pops" Staples discovered that their music could both enlighten and inspire a new generation. When they signed with Stax Records, they began to dominate not only the gospel charts, but the pop and R&B charts as well, with hits like "I'll Take You There" (which topped both the pop and R&B charts), "Respect Yourself," "Touch A Hand, Make A Friend" and others. After the closure of Stax, they switched to Curtis Mayfield's Curtom Records and reached number 1 in the pop and R&B charts again in 1975 with "Let's Do It Again".

Three more albums for Warner Bros. ended the decade. (Expanded editions of "Let's Do It Again" (1975), "Pass It On" (1976), "Family Tree" (1977) and "Unlock Your Mind" (1978) are available from Omnivore Recordings). With restoration and mastering by multiple Grammy award winner Michael Graves, Africa '80 now offers a glimpse into this ever-evolving musical and national treasure. New liner notes by Tim Dillinger-Curenton explain the history and legacy of the band and go into detail about the tour and recordings.
