I'll Take You There
"I'll Take You There" is a number-one single written and produced by Al Bell and performed by soul/gospel family band The Staple Singers, released on Stax Records in February 1972. The song spent a total of fifteen weeks on the charts and reached number one on the Hot 100.
==History==
Included on the group's 1972 album ''Be Altitude: Respect Yourself'', "I'll Take You There" features lead singer Mavis Staples inviting her listeners to seek heaven. The song is "almost completely a call-and-response chorus"[], with the introduction being lifted from a Jamaican instrumental reggae tune titled "The Liquidator". In fact, the entire song, written in the key of C, contains but two chords, C and F. A large portion of the song is set aside for Mavis' sisters Cleotha and Yvonne and their father "Pops" to seemingly perform solos on their respective instruments. In actuality, these solos (and all music in the song) were recorded by the famed Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section. When Mavis Staples says "Daddy, now, Daddy, Daddy" (referring to "Pop's" guitar solo), it is actually Eddie Hinton who performs the solo on record. Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section bass player David Hood performs the song's famed bass line. Terry Manning added harmonica and lead electric guitar. Roger Hawkins played drums, Barry Beckett was on electric piano, and Jimmy Johnson and Raymond Banks contributed guitar parts. The horn and string parts were arranged by Detroit arranger, Johnny Allen. The horns and strings were recorded at Artie Fields Recording Studios in Detroit Michigan.
''Rolling Stone'' editor David Fricke described this song as the "epitome of the Muscle Shoals Sound". It was recorded in Sheffield, AL at the famous Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, and overdubbed and mixed at Ardent Studios in Memphis by Engineer Terry Manning.
Bolstered by a "feel-good" vibe, "I'll Take You There" peaked at number-one on the Billboard R&B Singles chart for four weeks May 1972. In June, "I'll Take You There" reached the top of the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 for one week. ''Billboard'' ranked it as the No. 19 song for 1972.〔Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1972〕 The song, ranked #276 on the ''Rolling Stone'' list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The RS 500 Greatest Songs of All Time )〕 and inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999, remains the most successful and recognizable single of the Staples' half-century-long career.
