  11. For this week's #SaturdayOnStage I've chosen one of my favorite video clips, which is from the 1972 concert movie "Wattstax".

    The Emotions: Peace Be Still (1972)
    youtube.com/watch?v=XFWZcMxFmd0

    At the time, the Emotions were making excellent secular recordings for Stax's Volt subsidiary, but it's a revelation to see how incredibly good they were when they were singing gospel music at a small Los Angeles church.
