    CLASSIC! Absolutely love the Staple Singers. They were the perfect meld of gospel and true Soul/R&B.

    Happy OSF!

    Great choice, I love the Staple Singers. I'm celebrating Black Music Month & OSF! Check out my choice.

    Well, leave it to me - I twisted this theme again. I knew you meant family singing groups but the minute I saw your theme I thought of Heart and Soul - A musical family thread for over 40 years.

    But if I had to think of a family group I would have gone with The Beach Boys (even though they did have non family members, those members were such old friends they were probably part of the family).

    Happy TT to all and to all a good Friday!

    Alright now! You got me bobbin' my head on that one :-) How can you lose with Pop and his girls.

    Staple Singeers? Pops Staples? Mavis???
    'Nuff said. Hands-down one of the best modern family gospel groups ever in my book.
    Great pick, and Happy OSF!

    Staples popped into my head first last night when I saw the theme, but I didn't get around to posting until now. Love them. Glad I peeped before I did a repeat. :-) Happy OSF!

    Great choice. One I would have went with but I decided on another family. Sorry I haven't been around Old School Fridays for awhile, between the hospital and other problems it's been hard to find time for much of anything. But I hope I'm back now.

    LOL! I was thinking the same thing when I chose mine (don't choose the Jacksons, don't choose the Jacksons)! I love the Staple Singers! Good pick!

    This is definitely one that will be in my head for the day. I'll Take You There is a classic and I've always liked the beat on this song.

    There are a lot of family's to choose from. I guess the hook is trying to find one no one has thought of. This was a great choice Marv.

    I love the fridays, it's like homework.
