Mavis Staples - "You Are Not Alone"

She’s a legend, a soul singer, a rule breaker, and beyond all that she’s still an innovator!

She recently had a tiny desk concert that was incredible. You see exactly why she is a star.

What you may not know is that Mavis Staples has been actively working with her fellow Chicago musician (and Wilco leader) Jeff Tweedy on her upcoming album, You Are Not Alone. Tweedy produced the record and wrote a few songs for her, as well — including the title track, which she sings here.

So in homage to my elders, today I choose Mavis Staples’ "You Are Not Alone" as my, crack open the dawn, look into your own soul, see the divinity within, song for a, show up for yourself, continue on, help yourself up - and then help them up too, Wednesday.
