Pervis Staples, a founding member of the legendary gospel and soul group the Staple Singers, has died. A representative for his sister and former bandmate Mavis Staples confirmed to Rolling Stone that Pervis died on May 6 at age 85. Mavis also issued a statement: “Pervis was one of a kind — comical and downright fly. He would want to be remembered as an upright man, always willing to help and encourage others. He was one of the good guys and will live on as a true Chicago legend.” No cause of death was given.
