The Staple Singers - Respect Yourself (Official Lyric Video)

- Stax is pleased to release a new lyric video for the Staple Singers’ soulful 1971 anthem “Respect Yourself.” The captivating visualizer pairs archival photos from the Civil Rights Movement with contemporary images from the Black Lives Matter protests-because now as then, this song’s message of self-respect, tolerance and empowerment provides a compass for navigating times of political tumult and upheaval.
Check out the hit-packed compilation from Soulsville U.S.A., "STAX NUMBER ONES"! Available now on vinyl, CD and digital platforms.

“Respect Yourself,” which originally appeared on the Staple Singers’ 1972 album Be Altitude: Respect Yourself, resonated with listeners and became the group’s biggest hit to date-landing at No. 2 on the Billboard Soul chart and No. 12 on the Hot 100. The eerily prophetic tune-which even included the lyric “Keep talkin' bout the president, won't stop air pollution/Put your hand on your mouth when you cough, that'll help the solution”-was a perfect fit for the Staple Singers, who were formidable voices in the Civil Rights Movement and often incorporated politically charged messages of racial equality into their songs. Featuring members of the legendary Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section and Memphis Horns, the song was penned by Luther Ingram and Mack Rice, and produced by Stax Records executive Al Bell.
The lyric video comes ahead of a comprehensive 7-CD box set celebrating the Staple Singers and their legendary output at Stax Records. Spanning 1968-1974, Come Go With Me: The Stax Collection is available November 13 and includes many of the Staples’ most iconic recordings, including “I’ll Take You There,” “If You’re Ready (Come Go With Me),” “Long Walk to D.C.,” and, of course, “Respect Yourself.” The collection was also released earlier this year on vinyl and digital formats, both available now at the official Stax online store: found.ee/staplesingers-7CD-st...
Come Go With Me: The Stax Collection takes listeners back to 1968, when the Staple Singers went into the studio to record their first album for Stax, Soul Folk in Action, working with producer Steve Cropper and songwriter Homer Banks. The sessions were set against a backdrop of social and political turmoil, which climaxed with the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in Memphis. The Staple Singers were known for writing politically charged “message songs,” and the year’s events certainly inspired many of the tracks on this album, including “Long Walk to D.C.” and “The Ghetto.” In their liner notes, Levon Williams and Dr. Langston Wilkins write that both of these songs “Truly tapped into the experiences and emotions of Black America at the close of the ’60s. The former is a tribute to the 1963 March on Washington told from the perspective of a poor yet hopeful African American person willing to use their last dimes to make it to the rally … Conversely, the somber and haunting ‘The Ghetto’ takes listeners deep into the isolation and despair of inner-city life.”
Featuring newly remastered audio, Come Go With Me features all six of The Staple Singers’ albums for Stax, plus a seventh disc of rarities, non-album singles and live recordings from the legendary 1972 Wattstax music festival. The box set also includes a booklet with archival photos and liner notes from American music specialist and curator Levon Williams (formerly of the Stax Museum and the National Museum of African American Music) and folklorist, ethnomusicologist and writer Dr. Langston Wilkins.

The world needs this tune now more than ever . The world is going insane and has lost basic morals and respect
I agree 1000 especially in our African community (Africans that's been stolen from Africa brung to America) because not one man or black man that they call Americans. We been stolen so this why we are the way we are today because white people made us believe in the jim crow education. So now look at us hating each other no type of respect for each other.
Damn straight usa is implicit in genocide in Gaza.
Agreed I posted it to FB
To many people live for self.

Respect Elders that deserve it.They been here before us!
Not all of them. My mother never respected me in any way and was abusive to me into her 90s. She was also never open to learning or changing so those extra years meant nothing. As the song says you can't expect respect from someone you disrespect.

Looks like dannypalmer added "that deserve it" after my comment. That helps.
@@mgmail7279 You sound like a jezebel.
Honor thy father & mother. Its not "demand respect from your elders"
EARN IT!
This is one true song by the staple singers Respect yourself!!! Do anyone out there know what the meaning of Respect Yourself? Especially the young generation today? They should sit down and listen to this song and get the true facts!!! Respect Yourself!!!
Wait and see, now every human has to learn what it means to have respect
Yes ma’am!! ❤
Indeed!! Amen!!!
The teachings start at home.
@@josephsanchez6924 They should but some parents (mine for example) are more interested in their own lives than dealing with the children they brought into the world. I learned more from this song and others than I ever did from anybody at home. Sure your way would be ideal, but for those of us less fortunate, a good song is a life saver.
If you want respect ✊🏿 you have to give respect ✊🏿 Treat people how you want to be treated ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Omg!, I'm 18 lost between generation boundaries but i am happy for the old soul within me, LOL STAPLE THE WORLD
A song for 2023 to all of us 💯👍✝️
2024 & Onward !
We were warned back then in every verse.
I don't care to ask questions, like: "Who is still listening in whatever year it is?!"
Because great songs that cause you to feel and/or think will always have someone listening.
"Respect Yourself" is a great song. So, listeners, please continue to think and feel. Peace!

God opposes the proud but gives more grace to the Humble; JAMES 4:6 *We all need to remember this and respect each other as well.🙏
🎵We talk about the president on stopping the corona virus, put a mask on your face when you cough, that would save a bunch of us🎵
NICE !!
THANK YOU
Saved ...from the common cold. Source: AMA Encylopedia. The mask keeps NO germs from entering/leaving, but DOES result in Oxygen DEPRIVATION (causing Lower heartbeat, lower Immunities, slower circulation, slower cell regeneration, POOR JUDGEMENT...)
@@anotherone5926 You changed President, change Encyclopedia. No surgeon suffocated after full day with mask. And a doctor in UK just run 2 hours with mask to prove you wrong. But you know you are wrong, the world experiment with masks did not give the result you pretend.
@@gengis737 I don't know what you are rambling about, pal. You got the wrong One.
brilliant
Stands up to the test of time . 👍
I used to love this song 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👍🏿
True song
They should have played this during the pandemic for the still true line "Put your hand over your mouth when you cough"! Fab song and great group.
black folk were too busy twerking on MLK day to care about "respect"
Just ask BLM.
