Mavis and Arcade Fire

Now that she has turned 75 and has a new knee, Mavis Staples is out performing with all the kids. Here she is performing the Rolling Stone's "The Last Time" with Arcade Fire. 



Actually the Rolling Stones based this song on a traditional song the Staple Singers performed earlier. Here is the recording of the song that the Staple Singers made over 50 years ago, when Mavis was just a young thing.

Happy Birthday Elvis

A twofer to mark both Throwback Thursday and the fact that Monday was Elvis Costello's 60th birthday.

Elvis performs here with Clover, the band that performed on the original album, released in 1977.

"No Dancing"
