Television appearances from throughout the decades capture artists performing for audiences of millions — often in unusual settings, with house bands, on chat shows, or as part of variety specials that seem surreal by modern standards. The rarest TV clips are from regional broadcasts, international shows, and programmes that were never repeated or archived.
Mavis Staples is an American rhythm and blues and gospel singer and civil rights activist. She rose to fame as a member of her family's band the Staple Singers, of which she is the last surviving member. During her time in the group, she recorded the hit singles "I'll Take You There" and "Let's Do It Again". In 1969, Staples released her self-titled debut solo album.
