"One for the Road:" The Staples Singers

Mavis Staples' Grammy Award for her album You Are Not Alone was a long time coming, as the singer herself said Sunday night. Still, we were shocked to find that it was her first Grammy Award as either a solo act or as a member of the Staples Singers. Sure, the group received a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005 and is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. But they never won a Grammy.

Makes one wonder what Pops Staples would have thought if he were alive when Mavis won.
