Love Makes It Right/Stax, 1974. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
One of the best tracks ever by the Soul Children! The cut's a sad weepy tune, sung by a young woman to her mother – who's scolding her for dating a married man. The arrangements are impeccable – and have this mellow electric sound that's totally fantastic. The monologue on the ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Singles/Stax (UK), 1972/1978. Used ... Out Of Stock
Rare singles from the group, and the great Open Door Policy – which marked a big return for the Soul Children to Stax! We don't know if the title is a reference to some sort of contractual obligation that the band had with Stax, but the album was their return to the label after leaving for 2 ... (Soul) read more CD

Be What You Are ... LP Stax, 1973. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
Warmly grooving 70s soul from The Staple Singers – recorded in a fuller Memphis mode that's miles from their gospel roots, but still plenty darn nice!

I'll Take You There/Stax, 1972. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Their biggest hit, and a perennial favorite whenever advertising companies need some sort of a soulful backing for a travel commercial. Might be a big sample track, but the girls sing too much over the groove! (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record

Sweet, smooth, and bluesy – perhaps not as hard as some of Johnnie's earlier Stax work, but with an increasing sophistication that really shows his development as a soul singer.
