The Kane Gang's 1985 cover of the Staple Singers' soul classic "Respect Yourself" came along at the time dance music was making inroads into the synth-pop market and soul music was having a resurgence. From my point of view, "Respect Yourself" by The Kane Gang was the missing link between the new wave and cult bands, the pop stars (Madonna, Prince etc.) and the new (formerly underground) dance scene. Nowhere near as essential as the original, but for me it was huge.
