Ah, ain't nobody cryin'
Ain't nobody worried
Ain't no smiling faces
Lying to the races

For Music Monday, I'll Take You There by The Staple Singers, which was ranked #276 on the Rolling Stone list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999.
The first version I heard, which does feature Mavis Staples, was by BeBe and CeCe Winans:
Fantasic song...especially the Staple Singers version. Mavis Staples is great as lead. BTW, the English band General Public did a version of this that I like.
