[Answer] Aretha Franklin recorded "Respect" in 1967, but who wrote and recorded the song first?

Aretha Franklin recorded "Respect" in 1967, but who wrote and recorded the song first?


  • Otis Redding:"Respect" was written and originally recorded by soul singer Otis Redding. It was released in 1965 as a single from his third album Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul. In 1967, fellow soul singer Aretha Franklin covered and rearranged "Respect," resulting in even a bigger hit which became her signature song. The music in the two versions is significantly different, while a few changes in the lyrics resulted in different narratives around the theme. Otis Redding died tragically at 26, just as the Queen of Soul was turning his minor hit into a feminist anthem.
