“My voice is my gift. And Pops had me using it in the right way. I had many offers to sing pop, to sing rhythm and blues. Pops said "Mavis, this record company want to give you a million dollars." I said, "No daddy, I want to sing with the family." And I did. I never wanted to branch out by myself. But I've had to now. It's my mission. I've been left here to do it. And I'm grateful.” WayWantGivingSaidWantedLeftVoiceCompanyMillionsRecordsOffersGratefulDollarsPopsMissionsRhythmBranchesRight WayDaddyMillion DollarsRecord CompaniesRhythm And Blues Author:Mavis Staples
