The Staple Singers performed their landmark protest song, "Why Am I Treated So Bad?," at several of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s rallies and marches. The Pop Staples-written tune became a favorite of Dr. King's. “Any time we were together,” Mavis Staples told WTTW in an interview, “[Dr. King] would say, ‘Stape, you gonna sing my song tonight, right?’ Pops said, ‘Yeah, we gonna sing it, Doctor, we gonna sing it.’” #MLKDay2026 | JamBase
