R-E-S-P-E-C-T



"Respect" was originally released by Stax recording artist Otis Redding in 1965. "Respect" became a hit and signature song for R&B singer Aretha Franklin. While Redding wrote the song as a mans plea for respect from a woman, the roles were reversed for Franklins version. "Respect" is considered the best song of the R&B era. It won Fanklin two Grammy awards in 1968. "Best Rythm and Blues Recording" and "Best Rythm and Blues Solo Vocal Performance, Female." Aretha Franklin was inducted to the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998. "Respect" is also #5 on the Rolling Stones list of The 500 Gretest songs of all Time.
