 Roebuck "Pops" Staples, patriarch of the Staple Singers whose down-home singing style and reverb guitar became the family group's trademark, was honored last week with a marker on the Mississippi Blues Trail. The marker was placed on Summit Street near the courthouse in Staples' hometown of Winona, Mississippi. Authorities noted that it made sense to place the tribute where it would be seen than where Staples was actually born, on a farm in a remote wooded area near Winona.
