In 1967, Aretha Franklin recorded and modified the song "Respect," which went on to become her trademark song. But who originally recorded it?

Otis Redding wrote and first sang "Respect." However, it was Aretha Franklin's version that became a worldwide hit. In the 1970s, the feminist movement adopted Franklin's rendition as its anthem. Moreover, many people consider it to be one of the greatest R&B songs of all time. It earned two Grammy Awards in 1968 for "Best Rhythm and Blues Recording" and "Best Rhythm and Blues Solo Vocal, Performance, Female."
