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.
Frfr!!!!! 7/11/170 all day this young generation no guidance!!! Lost I try to help cause I been there they don't want to hear it!!!! You can't raise a grown person over again!!!
Big problem today, Very Little Respect Period for Anyone and/or Anything!!!!!! Great song, made me get up off the sofa a dance.... Brings back such good times in my life.
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.
"AND IT'S WHAT WE NEED IN OUR WORLD TODAY MORE THAN EVER BEFORE" ... (A TIMELESS MESSAGE) ... and that's the "DOUBLE TRUTH ... RUTH"... ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
"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.
Straight from the heart. Great song ..... This person,human feels! Original self Guided and I agree with this great Song! Self Guided Human. What's in your DNA? BE yourself.
I had the opportunity to meet Mavis when she came to her aunt Billy's retirement she look so much like her aunt, with that being said yes this is a beautiful family with beautiful hearts and such positive music. God bless.
Butt What,,, we need 2 do today. isT respect ourselves... It's actually easy___ just talk to the person on your right side --- never the person on your left side / Sinister Catholic joke
I've always loved this song since I first heard it. Now I'm listening to it this morning , and it brought me to tears. Need this today ! As much as we needed it then.
Stop Singers were a class A#1 family group, I saw them in Los Angels back in the 70's when this song was released, Pop Staples sang the beginning verse and daughter Mavis did the rest of the song; Simply fabulous!!! They released many more excellent hits in the coming years.
Loved this in the 80's brought from the Kane Gang. It needs a revival now in the 2020's. The 70's were so rich in creativity and poor in money. Something to be said about that.
This song can be played for many generations to come...it STILL applies 40 years later in 2022.

Now 2023 almost gonna be 2024 soon❤ bless you all.
Indeed👍❤️
Still relevant!
Got to be some changes made....
Another ageless classic with the Swampers in Muscle Shoals, some of the best music ever made had those guys involved.
This is what we need in 2023
And in 2025
Good advice
This should actually be the national anthem.
These people are a “Staple” diet of Soul, RnB. Great stuff.

Brilliant song, this. So bluesy.
Gets to my soul on such a deep level... loves me my Staple Singers!!! STILL applying in March 2024. 💜💯
❤
"ME TOO , SISTER" ... "VERY DEEP for sure"... 🙏... ❤️🔥
2025. I will never get tired of the Staple Singers.
No honey, all people need to listen to it today!
Pay attn to all the words in song!!!!!
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...
However the song isn’t about “getting” respect, it’s about respecting yourself. That comes first, then others will respect you.
We don’t have enough of this in the world today.
I’m not walking around thinking the world owe me something because I’m here.
And you shouldn’t
Ain't yu glad she not talkn to yu tho.
"You're going out the world backwards like you did when you first come here"
This is what everyone needs to listen to, regardless of what your skin color is!
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
Who's here in 2024?
Frfr!!!!! 7/11/170 all day this young generation no guidance!!! Lost I try to help cause I been there they don't want to hear it!!!! You can't raise a grown person over again!!!
All people need this song
It’s like you can hear Pops Staples passing the torch to Mavis Staples in this song. Incredible recording!
Pops voice could melt butter 🤤Great song!
Big problem today, Very Little Respect Period for Anyone and/or Anything!!!!!! Great song, made me get up off the sofa a dance.... Brings back such good times in my life.
Ain’t it interesting how relevant this song still is and probably always will be?
GET IT POP'S. THAT'S RIGHT.
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?
Mavis Staples is a godess
Respect, very much lost today. I don't even think the majority of people today even know what the word means, especially respecting themselves.
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.
My grandmother used to love this song and I love it listen to the words that they're singing is so true🎉❤
Man oh man. It just don’t get no better.
Listening in 2024
Ole Pop's a BAD MAN!!!! Makes that Guitar talk and Mackin' at tha same time.

RESPECT YOURSELF
Im 57, the nostalgia ,I just miss my mom😢

I sent this song to my grandkids to teach them. A lesson that needs to be taught.
AMEN AMEN AMEN 🙏 🙌 ❤️ 👏 💖 😊 🙏 🙌 ❤️ 👏 💖 😊
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...
This will forever be a Groove
Love it always!
Respect that drummer
Roger Hawkins, of course.
Those Muscle Shoals boys were constantly in pocket...but Pops Staples guitar fade made the hairs on my arm stand to attention! Whew!
Roger Hawkins. He passed away May 20, 2021.
Today is Rogers birthday.(Oct. 15)
🙏🏼
