Just occurred to me that there is a bit of a similar sound to the two, same sort of a chug to it and both being advisory about life.
But moreso Pops Staples sounds a bit like the singer from Undisputed Truth.
Did someone notice this and think it time to give Pop's voice some prominence? Or was that already being practiced on Staple Singers songs?
Also the trading off of male/female vocals is similar.
RESPECT YOURSELF came out six months after SMILING FACES SOMETIMES.
Just curious ...??
