Archie Bell and the Drells are best known for Tighten Up.

Its possible they may have done the song, but its not on their Greatest Hits on
Rhino: Tightening It Up: the Best of Archie Bell and the Drells, nor is it
mentioned by the CD NOW database.

I think the song you are thinking of is was a hit for Charles Wright & The
Watts 103rd St Rhythm Band. It was also sampled or used somehow by NWA.

I am also immdediately thought of a song that I thought was a Pointer Sisters
or Aretha Franklin hit "Respect Yourself" that goes something like "if you
dont respect yourself aint no body gonna give a good ga-hoot! =Respect
Yourself" Any one know the song I'm referring to here?

Express Yourself

WB single #3 R&B #12 Pop 1970
