"I'll Take You There", escrita por Al Bell (Alvertis Isbell), foi lançada pela Stax Records em fevereiro de 1972 e chegou ao topo da Billboard Hot 100 nos EUA.
Em dezembro de 1972 a gravação já havia vendido 2 milhões de unidades, tornando‑se um dos maiores sucessos americanos daquele ano e uma das canções gospel mais vendidas de todos os tempos.
A versão de 1991 de BeBe & CeCe Winans, com a participação de Mavis Staples, liderou a parada R&B e ainda chegou à posição 90 na Hot 100, mostrando a durabilidade do tema nas rádios.
Em 1994 a banda britânica General Public regravou o hit, alcançando a posição 22 na Billboard Hot 100, evidenciando seu apelo internacional.
O riff marcante de "I'll Take You There" foi usado como sample na música de 1991 "Let's Talk About Sex", do trio de rap Salt‑N‑Pepa, ampliando seu impacto cultural para o universo hip‑hop.
Em 1997 a Chevrolet utilizou a canção em campanhas publicitárias para o relançamento do Chevrolet Malibu, demonstrando a capacidade da faixa de se conectar com públicos além da música.
