In 1975, the Mississippi family act known as the Staples Jr. Singers, whose members were all teenagers at the time, released their debut album When Do We Get Paid. The Staples Jr. Singers never had any association with the actual Staple Singers, but people told them that they sounded like the Staples, so they went running with that. The Brown family made a version of gospel that drew on the blues and pulled inspiration from the Civil Rights struggle.
