'A women’s anthem': Aretha Franklin on Respect

Video G 16 August 2018

Aretha Franklin, who has died at the age of 76,

reflects on her 1967 cover hit Respect

in a collection of archive clips.

The queen of soul discusses

how she and her sister injected

Otis Redding’s song with their own twist

and its subsequent use as a 'battle cry'

and 'women's anthem'

In a musical career that spanned more than five decades,

Aretha Franklin had over 100 singles on the Billboard charts.

But more importantly, says Jon Pareles,

chief popular music critic for The New York Times,

she freed other singers to let their voices fly.

Aretha Franklin 1942-2018

“Queen of Soul”

and one of America’s

greatest singers in any style,

In her indelible late-1960s hits,

Ms. Franklin brought

the righteous fervor of gospel music

to secular songs that were about

much more than romance.

Hits like

“Do Right Woman — Do Right Man,”

“Think,” “(You Make Me Feel Like)

A Natural Woman” and “Chain of Fools”

defined a modern female archetype:

sensual and strong, long-suffering

but ultimately indomitable,

loving but not to be taken for granted.

When Ms. Franklin sang “Respect,”

the Otis Redding song

that became her signature,

it was never just about

how a woman wanted

to be greeted by a spouse

coming home from work.

It was a demand

for equality and freedom

and a harbinger of feminism,

carried by a voice

that would accept nothing less.
