Time for us to solve this long-standing debate once and for all… Who gets the ‘Respect’… Most people know the song as Aretha Franklin‘s signature song which won her two Grammys… Its seen as a song that represented women’s independence..

Originally the song was written by the late Otis Redding it was supposed to reflect the civil rights struggle at the time but was couched in a love song where.. a desperate man says he’ll endure and do whatever it takes to win his woman as long as she give’s him Respect..

Anyway take a look at these two legendary artists rock this song… Who Gets your Respect in executing it?

Here’s Otis Redding doing the damn than o Cleveland show Upbeat in 1967, one day before he died in a plane crash.
