He will be missed. In 1999 the Staple Singers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Lauryn Hill. See what I've done after all these years. Staples is survived by his children Cleotha, Pervis, Yvonne and Mavis Staples. His wife, Oceola, and daughter, Cynthia preceded him in death.
Funeral arrangements are pending.
We've got to decide if its going to be this generation or never.
