About This Track
“Respect” is a song written and originally released by Stax recording artist Otis Redding in 1965. “Respect” became a 1967 hit and signature song for R&B singer Aretha Franklin. While Redding wrote the song as a man’s plea for respect and recognition from a woman, the roles were reversed for Franklin’s version. Franklin’s cover was a landmark for the feminist movement, and is often considered as one of the best songs of the Rock & Roll era, earning her two Grammy Award in 1968 for “Best Rhythm & Blues Recording” and “Best Rhythm & Blues Solo Vocal Performance, Female”, and was inducted in the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998.
In 2002, the Library of Congress honored Franklins version by adding it to the National Recording Registry. It is number five on Rolling Stone’s list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It was also included in the list of Songs of the Century, by the Recording Industry of America and the National Endowment for the Arts.

What an Aretha Franklin Memory. Remember when Otis Redding did this first in 1965?? Aretha Took this to #1 on the R&B charts for EIGHT weeks in 1967. FYI ..Before she joined Atlantic Records in 1967 she recorded for Columbia for years. Her Columbia record songs were mostly mellow with a jazzy flavor...with a few exceptions. Her uptempo Columbia songs included "Rough Lover", "Le Cross", Won't Be Long", & "Souleville". she recorded many albums for Columbia. They (unlike Atlantic) didn't quite know to bring out her style that emerged later ON Atlantic Records.
