"Respect" by Train

Led by singer and songwriter Pat Monahan, Train had humble origins as a roots rock band not too far astray from the likes of Tom Petty. Their debut album boasted smoldering cuts like "Free," "I Am," and "Meet Virginia," which made its way to #20 in 2000.

Their sophomore effort displayed exponential growth and markedly better production, catapulting the band to the Top 10 with the sweeping ballad, "Drops Of Jupiter," which soared to #5 in 2001. The band then dropped off the radar a bit for their next two albums, only scoring a handful of lesser known singles.

Train returned in a big way in 2010 with "Save Me, San Francisco," which yielded their biggest hit to date when "Hey, Soul Sister" spent 4 weeks at #3 and won a Grammy for Pop Group Vocal. They ventured back into Top 10 territory in 2012 when "Drive By" reached #10. Their new slick pop sound worked for a while, but they now need another comeback hit. The band's last trip to the Top 100 was in 2017 when "Play That Song" stalled at #41.

"Respect" is from 2001's smash album "Drops Of Jupiter." Not sure why this catchy anthem didn't get more attention. This album is full of hit-worthy singles, but only the title-track saw chart action.
