Be Altitude: Respect Yourself, Staple Singers, 1972, :41
★ ★ ★ ★ ☆
Gospel soul, backed by the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section and the Memphis Horns. Songs about social issues such as respecting yourself and others, and helping the downtrodden, boost the religious material. Two singles attached to the reissue of this record, "Walking In Water Over Our Head" and "Heavy Makes You Happy," are two of the catchiest and really should have been on the original release. Favorite tracks: "I'll Take You There," "Respect Yourself," "We the People."
