Staple Singers 1959 (My Best 78)
This 78 is absolutely amazing and I have a copy of it. Old gospel recording are just absolutely spectacular. You can really hear where soul music came from. Especially these very singers became huge soul singers when they switched to secular. Listening to this on original 78 on a phonograph and the other track, "I Got Religion" is what its all about. Trust me. It plays really well even though it has a huge crack from when my roomate tried to bring it to me in the pysch ward. It broke, but it was really rad of him to try and bring it, and it still plays amazingly even though the crack is huge. Lucky, because anyone who collects 78s knows they are way more brittle than vinyl.
