Otis Redding Wrote 'Respect.' He Never Imagined What Aretha Franklin Would Do With It.
A forgotten moment from Aretha Franklin's world reveals something deeper about music, fame, and the people who shaped soul history. In this video, we look at the story behind 'Respect,' from Otis Redding's original 1965 recording to the 1967 session where Aretha Franklin transformed it into one of the defining songs of soul history. This story explores how a song can change meaning entirely depending on who sings it, the quiet courage it took for Aretha to rebuild a song from the ground up, and the moment Otis Redding first heard what she had done with it. Long before it became an anthem, 'Respect' was simply a song written by one soul singer for another to discover.
