Aretha Frankin-- Respect

Atlantic Records

R-E-S-P-E-C-T.  Every now and then ya just need this jam.  Aretha Franklin and producer Jerry Wexler turned Otis Redding's 1965 version a pop song for the history books in 1967. Franklin changed up the lyrics, adding the R-E-S-P-E-C-T breakdown and "sock it to me" part with the help of her sisters/backing vocalists Emma and Carolyn. The song, from her album I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You (long title, right?), became an anthem for any female who feels like she's TCB, Taking Care of Business.
