Respect (Jimmy Smith album)

Respect is a 1967 album by the American jazz organist Jimmy Smith.^[1]

On the Billboard albums chart, Respect peaked at number 60 on the Billboard 200,^[2] at 3 on the top R&B albums chart and at 5 on the top Jazz albums chart.

Billboard magazine chose Respect as one of their 'Jazz Spotlight' albums for their 30 September 1967 issue and commented that:

"It's Smith at his best - and that means sales in the register".^[3]

AllMusic's review by Scott Yanow stated that Smith:

"...mostly sticks to then-current R&B hits on this out of print LP. He does what he can with "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy," a brief "Respect" and "Funky Broadway" while contributing his own blues "T-Bone Steak." The 31-minute set has its moments but no real surprises, yet it swings funkily throughout."^[1]
