Pick up exclusive collectible items, plus music from your favorite Stax artists and legends. From their gospel beginnings through the folk-rock era to their soul music peak, the Staple Singers traveled a long, artistically-rich road into the mainstream of American music, spreading messages of peace, equal rights and love. When the Staples -comprised of family patriarch Roebuck “Pops” Staples and daughters Cleotha, Mavis and Yvonne- joined Stax in 1968, they were working alongside major rock acts at forums like the Fillmore West and East. Over the next few years, The Staple Singers saw 12 chart hits, including "Respect Yourself" and "I'll Take You There", both off their 1972 breakthrough album, Be Altitude: Respect Yourself. The Staples continued to record through 1994, when they found a new audience with their cover of The Band’s “The Weight” for MCA Records’ compilation “Rhythm, Country & Blues.” Mavis Staples, who received her first GRAMMY® Award in 2011, continues to record and tour, performing everywhere from the White House to the Kennedy Center Honors stage to major festivals like Outside Lands. Most recently, Staples is the subject of documentary “Mavis!”

This song applies to all cultures. Respect is something badly needed among the youth of today.
I was very young when I realized, Respect must be Earned and can not be Demanded. Mutual respect is the Best...
Yep 2024
Go head! Respect Yourself! Hear! Hear!...
So relevent in 2024!!
This song can be played for many generations to come...it STILL applies 40 years later in 2022.
And 50 years later ! 🤭😄❤
For real! The song is very profound. I know that's a lot of the songs from the '60s and the '70s have some deep meaning in them. Even the '80s. You move on into the '90s and it's still somewhat prevalent but 2000 onwards, it's mostly cookie cutter, recyclable, bubble gum paper-thin claptrap.
Now 2023 almost gonna be 2024 soon❤ bless you all.
Indeed👍❤️
Still relevant!
Gets to my soul on such a deep level... loves me my Staple Singers!!! STILL applying in March 2024. 💜💯
❤
This is what we need in 2023
I've love that ROONEY SONG NEW ONE BY AN AMERICAN GIRL LOFT CALLED RESPECT YOURSELF 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
We don’t have enough of this in the world today.
A song for the youth
Not easy making it in this world Love yourself and Respect yourself. ❤🙏🏽
As a kid, I'd play this song over and over again. ❤ it made sense and 50 years later it Still does! 😮
Yes it does
This tune has a lowdown, filthy, funky, nasty Groove. Make Grandma & Grandpa wanna shake a tail feather.
The music comes from the church.
God is Love! Gramma and Grammpa know that!!🤙🏽
@@ek2137so?
I don't think the staple singers get their credit they really deserve I love this family and their music
Ummmm have you seen their list of awards, they are not underated at all
Respect yourself... Staple singers... Xxxxx J Xxxxxxxx
Respect, very much lost today. I don't even think the majority of people today even know what the word means, especially respecting themselves.
This is what everyone needs to listen to, regardless of what your skin color is!
This song is great and will always be true ❤❤ July 2024this is something to rape about ❤❤
This song is truth like smiling faces😊
"You're going out the world backwards like you did when you first come here"
Good stuff!👍🎸🥁🙏🇺🇸❤️
Im 57, the nostalgia ,I just miss my mom😢
I hope this song eases the pain of your loss
So sorry for your loss ❤
Grief... Is proof that you loved.
When I hear this song today in 2023 I can’t help but think of some of today’s politicians. God help us! And God bless the USA🇺🇸. This song still resonates 40+ years later.
2024 working on respecting myself.
Be kind to yourself, trust in the Lord, and reach out when you need help. Peace to you, friend
GET IT POP'S. THAT'S RIGHT.
Simply put, the world needs to hear this ((again and again and again)).
2024
I’m not walking around thinking the world owe me something because I’m here.
And you shouldn’t
😎 😎 😎 😎 🎵 🎶 🎵 🎶 🎵 🎶 🎵 STILL 2023 😊😊.
Still 2024🎉
"Respect Yourself" is my most favorite Staple Singers' song. Its harmony and the lyrics blend perfectly together. It is appropriate and suitable for listening to at any time of the day or night, even played and sung in church. Also, this song beats the living daylights out of rap and hip-hop music.
Another ageless classic with the Swampers in Muscle Shoals, some of the best music ever made had those guys involved.
Respect your self. Amen.
This will always be in so let's ask popular artists today to release this now..
Ain’t it interesting how relevant this song still is and probably always will be?
AMEN AMEN AMEN 🙏 🙌 ❤️ 👏 💖 😊 🙏 🙌 ❤️ 👏 💖 😊
I absolutely love the Staple Singers
Thank you so much for being a believer and for writing this and sharing your thoughts.
❤️🎼🎤🎸🎹🥁The truth shall set you free🙏🏾
All people need this song
Man oh man. It just don’t get no better.
Don't hate, heart 💞 give to your MAKER 💟🙏😎🙏👠🙏
Classic! #StillEpic 🔥
Peace and love...
Just get out the way and let the gentleman do his thing!
2024 still applies
I listen this song through years I'm 49.years old and I still listen to some old school 😊❤
So it's only 2 years older than you?
71 years here, was there first time around, loved it then love it now
I’m 72 an still love it
Rest in peace Pervis Staples. Thank you for the music.
EVERYONE NEEDS TO RESPECT YOURSELF PLEASE! FROM HEAD TO TAIL. RESPECT YOURSELF PLEASE?
This is what Black people need to listen to today.
I wonder what the Staple Singers would think about someone telling black people what they ought to do.
If I may, although I understand your complement + intention regarding this music. "All people"
It is Pure and it is Timeless.
(The separation or grouping by race is a left over habit that we can release.
... "Except when we are enjoying our ethnic cultures with friends and family"
Just know, there's Minds that are more comfortable thinking from "the People" and in this case, "shared Passions for Premium R&B/Funk.
What a talented family and Authentic Good Folks, "the Staple Singers"

With all due respect, Bout the same as they would as someone judging the statement.
I'm just saying, sometimes we judge w/o realizing, it wasn't their original intention, it was actually a compliment to the Quality of the Music and thinking out loud.

Discernment 🔑
Best Thoughts ...
Yes sir I agree I have older parents so I love this older music.
You need to listen to it. Don't tell black people what we need to listen to
A classic never dies!
Ole Pop's a BAD MAN!!!! Makes that Guitar talk and Mackin' at tha same time.

Incredible music !!! I discovered that by accident yesterday ( 9.08. 2024 ) and I'm really impressed.
They were great. Listen to I'll Take You There.
Cool, originally back in the day, the bass line was the hook, then the lyrics kicked right in.
Welcome to the fold...
It’s like you can hear Pops Staples passing the torch to Mavis Staples in this song. Incredible recording!

These people are a “Staple” diet of Soul, RnB. Great stuff.

I love this music

Hi edagdwg love this song the world would be a much better place to live in and love other people respect is a must life is sooooo real Linda j .peace
❤
2021 So true, still ..
Same . 2022 .
Put your hand over your mouth when you cough that would help the solution, this applies now in 2020 with this Covid-19, words to live by.
Now you better preach this message!
You better believe that they knew what they were saying while they were saying it. Michael had been wear face masks for years before Covid reached America. A lot of celebs knew what was up before the Pandemic 😷.
True gospel song.
Pops and sisters were unmatched!!
Amen to that ..... RDC
