We're Gonna Make It - Mavis Staples

We're Gonna Make It - Mavis Staples
3:27
You Are Not Alone, 2010
Written by Gene Barge, Billy Davis, Raynard Miner & Carl William Smith, 1965

This is a cover, originally released by Little Milton on the album of the same name.  Here, Mavis duets with somebody, but I can't find out who.  It's a triumphant funky gospel number, proclaiming overcoming hard times through the power of togetherness and love.  "And if a job is hard to find / And we have to stand in the welfare line / I've got your love and you know you got mine."
