The Last Waltz Changed Mavis Staples Life (A Top Story)
. Staples tells Rolling Stone: "Being in The Last Waltz was the most beautiful thing that ever happened to the Staples Singers. I still can't get offstage without doing The Weight. We were already close friends with The Band by then, with Levon Helm, Robbie Robertson and Rick Danko. Danko would keep you laughing! He was really cool." The 1968 original version of The Weight remains one of her favorite tracks of all time, along with You Are Not Alone, the title track from her 2010 album, co-written with Jeff Tweedy.
