"Respect Yourself" is a song by American R&B/gospel group The Staple Singers. Released in tardily 1971 from their album Be Altitude: Respect Yourself, the song became a crossover hit. The Staple Singers' version peaked at #12 on the Hot 100, #2 on the Hot Soul Singles chart, and is one of the group'south near recognizable hits. In 2002, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, and in 2010 it was ranked #468 on the Rolling Rock listing of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[1]
Writing and recording [edit]
The song was written by Stax Records singer Luther Ingram and house songwriter Mack Rice. Ingram, who was frustrated with the state of the world at the time, told Rice "black folk demand to learn to respect themselves." Rice liked the annotate and then much that he built a funk groove around it, prepared a demo record, and suggested to tape producer Al Bell that the Staple Singers tape it. The grouping agreed.[2]
Bell teamed the group with the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, musicians who laid downwardly classic tracks for Wilson Pickett and Aretha Franklin, and with engineer/musician Terry Manning for vocals, overdubs, and mixing, in Memphis. The musicians were Barry Beckett (keyboards), Roger Hawkins (drums), Jimmy Johnson (guitar), and David Hood (bass), with pb vocals by "Pops" and Mavis Staples. The horns were overdubbed by Manning after the vocals were recorded, and were played by the Memphis Horns led past Andrew Love and Wayne Jackson. The song had resonance for a burgeoning self-empowerment motion for African-Americans during the mail-civil-rights movement of the 1970s.[ii] The Staple Singers' long version featured Roebuck "Pops" Staples, most 57 at the time, on lead for more than two minutes.[ citation needed ]
