The Staple Singers - Respect Yourself

My Mama (skinny, white, middle-aged, with a mullet and reading glasses) used to dance around the kitchen and sing this to me when I was a kid. True story. It's been covered a million times, but I like this version. I wonder how different the world would be if this was on MTV instead of this.

Incidentally, it was co-written by Luther Ingram, who also sang this classic, which is the opening number of yesterday's mix. All good stuff.
