The Staple Singers were a US gospel and R&B group led by guitarist, singer Roebuck "Pops" Staples and including his daughters Cleotha Staples, Mavis Staples, Yvonne Staples, and son Pervis Staples. From 1976 to 1978, they went by the name The Staples while signed to Warner Bros. They were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1999 as performers.
With their unique blend of gospel harmonies and soulful R&B sound, The Staple Singers captivated audiences across America. Their powerful vocals and socially conscious lyrics resonated with listeners during the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Influenced by artists like Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave, and Solomon Burke, their music remains timeless.
Experience the soul-stirring melodies of The Staple Singers today and discover why they are regarded as one of the most influential groups in American music history. Explore their discography filled with hits like "I'll Take You There" and "Respect Yourself." Immerse yourself in their uplifting sound that continues to inspire generations.

50th Anniversary Edition of the Staple Singers’ iconic fourth album for Stax Records, Be Altitude: Respect Yourself, is pressed on 180-gram vinyl with all-analog mastering from the original stereo tapes (by Jeff Powell at Take Out Vinyl) and housed in a tip-on jacket. Featuring the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section and the Memphis Horns, it includes the Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit, “I’ll Take You There,” and the title track, “Respect Yourself.”
