In 1975 the Staples Junior Singers, a family gospel group from Aberdeen, Mississippi released a record. It sold a few hundred copies through church gatherings, local fairs and even from their front lawn. It would take nearly five decades for that album to reach international acclaim but now the surviving members are embarking on a European tour.
