As sure as Moses' staff parted the water As sure as Cain had to pay four his crime As sure as no one wants to be brokenhearted That's how sure I am that blood is thicker than time

Mavis Staples Mavis Staples Stax/Volt, 1969 Stepping away from the Staples briefly, Mavis heads to Muscle Shoals to record her solo debut, a set of secular covers. Making a record on my own was just something that I wanted to do. It felt strange, but I knew that I wasn’t going anywhere. I knew I wasn’t leaving my family. I sang on his last album – he calls me and says, Mavis, I have a song that’s got your name written all over it. I said, What it is, Curtis? And he said, It’s gonna be on my next album, it’s called ‘Ms Martha’. Blood Is Thicker Than Time, he wrote that as a tribute to my family. When we were recording the song The Undertaker, Prince asked me, Do you think Pops will play on this? and I said, Sure. He’s singing on some of the songs too.
