🎵 Aretha Franklin - Respect 🎵

---

"Respect" is a song by OTIS REDDING from 1965 and in the version by Aretha Franklin from 1967 the title became a million seller of soul music.

Sometimes a cover is so good that, for all intents and purposes, it becomes the covering artist's song. Aretha Franklin's version of Otis Redding's 1965 release "Respect" only came out two years later, but it became a hit, topping the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B Singles Chart. Aretha's version was an important cultural moment, too. By changing a few lines and adding the iconic "R-E-S-P-E-C-T / Find out what it means to me," section, she made the song a demand for respect by an empowered woman. It went on to earn her two Grammy Awards in 1968 for "Best Rhythm & Blues Recording" and "Best Rhythm & Blues Solo Vocal Performance, Female".
