Staples, Roebuck

Staples, Roebuck
▪ 2001
“Pops” 
      American gospel singer (b. Dec. 28, 1915, Winona, Miss.—d. Dec. 19, 2000, Dolton, Ill.), formed (1948) and headed the resilient Staple Singers, which featured his children; the group performed in Chicago churches before recording rhythm-and-blues hits (“Uncloudy Day,” “Stand By Me”) in the 1950s, social-awareness songs such as “Why? (Am I Treated So Bad)” in the '60s, and soul music (“Respect Yourself,” “I'll Take You There”) in the '70s; Staples's bass voice, as lead singer, and his tremolo-rich guitar gave the group—which was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999—its distinctive sound. Staples's solo career flourished with two albums, Peace to the Neighborhood (1992) and Father Father (1994), for which he won a Grammy Award.
