About Respect

Aretha Franklin's rendition of Respect is widely regarded as one of the most iconic and influential songs in music history. Originally written and recorded by Otis Redding in 1965, Franklin's 1967 cover became her signature song and a powerful anthem for the Civil Rights and Women's Rights movements. Franklin's version of Respect differed significantly from Redding's original: 1. She rearranged the music, giving it a new sound and energy. 2. She altered the lyrics to represent a strong woman demanding respect from her man. .
