Biography:
The Staple Singers were an American gospel, soul, and R&B singing group from Chicago who signed their first professional contract in 1952. Roebuck "Pops" Staples (1914–2000), the patriarch of the family, formed the group with his children Cleotha (1934–2013), Pervis (b. 1935), Yvonne (1936-2018), and Mavis (b. 1939). They are best-remembered for their 1970s hits "Respect Yourself", "I'll Take You There", "If You're Ready (Come Go with Me)", and "Let's Do It Again".

Will The Circle Be Unbroken - The Staple Singers
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: “Will The Circle Be Unbroken?” (1960)
"Will the Circle Be Unbroken?" is a popular Christian hymn written in 1907
by Ada R. Habershon with music by Charles H. Gabriel. The song is often
recorded unattributed and, because of its age, has lapsed into the public
domain. The Staple Singers’ version, however, uses three of the five verses
from the re-worked lyrics by A.P. Carter. On the original Staple Singers LP
the song is just credited “Arr. – R. Staples”.

I was standing by my window
