Mavis Staples and Levon Helm, stars in their own right, bonded on "The Last Waltz" set in 1976. Their collaboration on "The Weight" became iconic. Despite Helm's battle with throat cancer, his voice returned, earning him three GRAMMYs during a career resurgence. Both artists were admired by a younger generation, with Helm celebrated as a legendary drummer and patron of American music.
