5.0 out of 5 stars
Voice of an angel,
By Steve Silk "69th stonyisland" (Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mavis Staples/Only for the Lonely (Audio CD)
Mavis Staples has a voice from the angels, when the subject of all time great arise in R&B we normally think of Aretha and Patty (rightfully so) but what makes Mavis so different is the deep gritty soulfulness in her voice. She combines the earthliness of Aretha but with that bluesy, hard times, living in the inner city type of funk. She is in my opinion the best female singer ever. Mariah and Whitney may have sold more, Aretha is universally ranked as the best, but vocally, I dare to say that mavis has all of them beat. I say this with the utmost respect for Aretha and Patty but Mavis is Raw! She has that old store front gospel sound in her voice, baby ain't no joke. Wake up everybody and listen to the sista.

Absolutely Wonderful,
This review is from: Mavis Staples/Only for the Lonely (Audio CD)
No disrespect to Luther or Dionne but I have always thought Mavis Staples version of A house is not a home is the BEST and then Luther. There aren't any singers out there today who can touch Mavis voice. When they are throwing out accolades of diva (many of whom don't deserve it) Mavis should be included. If you want to know what real music sounds like get this cd you won't be diappointed.

Everything and more,

This review is from: Mavis Staples/Only for the Lonely (Audio CD)
I first heard Mavis Staples' album 'Only for the Lonely' about a year before I purchased it. It was a bonus in that not only does the CD contain all the originals from the first album but it has about six from another earlier album, all of which add up to a fabulous easy listening album. Mavis' voice is, I feel, unique and she does every track with feeling.
