Swampers on I'll Take You There, Staple Singers

Music Legend has it that Paul Simon called Al Bell of Stax Records to request the same black musicians that played on this tune to play on his next record. Bell responded that he could arrange for the same session musicians but that these guys were mighty pale. The Swampers of Muscle Shoals absolutely nailed this one among others and it is perhaps bass player David Hood's finest performance...
