I'm not going all Jesus-y on you here or anything, but I've been listening to the Staple Singers quite a bit. You've probably heard "I'll Take You There" (that's on Be Altitude: Respect Yourself, 1972), which is just about the best thing anybody ever did. I like this one, too. It's from The Staple Swingers, 1971.
The Staples started out doing straight gospel in the 1950s, and then took in interest in the Civil Rights thing when that came along. Lots of great music, but the late 1960s and early 1970s were their great period, in my view.
