Documentary. “When Do We Get Paid (in Full),” is a twenty-minute version of the Staples Jr. Singers' 1975 classic “When Do We Get Paid.” Recorded in West Point, Mississippi, at a house of worship called The Message Center, it's more of a séance than a song—and it happened more or less spontaneously when the original members, Edward, R.C., and Annie, got together to play music for the first time in more than 40 years.
