      Soul music has its roots in the church, and this righteous gospel family band has its soul in music. Led by Pops Staples's tremolo-drenched guitar, the Staple Singers will shake your spiritual rafters. Their biggest pop hits are included on this collection--"I'll Take You There," and "Respect Yourself"--as are some of their interpretations of other rock hits. You haven't heard the Band's song "The Weight" until you've heard the Staples harmonize on "Take a load off Annie." Yes, put your load right on here. --Robert Gordon
