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.
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"... ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
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.
"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.
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

This is what we need in 2023
These people are a “Staple” diet of Soul, RnB. Great stuff.

Brilliant song, this. So bluesy.
Another ageless classic with the Swampers in Muscle Shoals, some of the best music ever made had those guys involved.
Pay attn to all the words in song!!!!!
No honey, all people need to listen to it today!
We don’t have enough of this in the world today.
This should actually be the national anthem.
Great Track timeless music
This song can be played for many generations to come...it STILL applies 40 years later in 2022.

Got to be some changes made....

All people need this 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.
"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’m not walking around thinking the world owe me something because I’m here.
And you shouldn’t
Man oh man. It just don’t get no better.
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?
Ain’t it interesting how relevant this song still is and probably always will be?
❤️🎼🎤🎸🎹🥁The truth shall set you free🙏🏾
Mavis Staples is a godess
"AND IT'S WHAT WE NEED IN OUR WORLD TODAY MORE THAN EVER BEFORE" ... (A TIMELESS MESSAGE) ... and that's the "DOUBLE TRUTH ... RUTH"... ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Brings back so many memories...
Respect yourself... Staple singers... Xxxxx J Xxxxxxxx
GET IT POP'S. THAT'S RIGHT.
It’s like you can hear Pops Staples passing the torch to Mavis Staples in this song. Incredible recording!
Ole Pop's a BAD MAN!!!! Makes that Guitar talk and Mackin' at tha same time.

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
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
I just introduced this song to my children, I hope they understand what the world is and how to handle life. It's in the title
RESPECT YOURSELF
A song for the youth
Respect, very much lost today. I don't even think the majority of people today even know what the word means, especially respecting themselves.
Love this song! Wonderful message!
Listening in 2024
Respect your self. Amen.
Simply put, the world needs to hear this ((again and again and again)).

Thank you so much for being a believer and for writing this and sharing your thoughts.
I sent this song to my grandkids to teach them. A lesson that needs to be taught.
I love how Mavis comes in and takes over the song with her beautiful voice and style.
It's time to be real!
This song is just as powerful now as the day it was released back decades ago. Wow!
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
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.
