Otis Redding
Respect (song)
"Respect" er en sang skrevet og oprindeligt udgivet af den amerikanske pladekunstner Otis Redding i 1965. Sangen blev et hit i 1967 og blev en signatursang for R&B-sangerinden Aretha Franklin. Musikken i de to versioner er markant forskellig, og gennem nogle få ændringer i teksten har de historier, som sangene fortæller, fået et andet præg. Reddings version er en bøn fra en desperat mand, som vil give sin kvinde alt, hvad hun vil have. Han vil være ligeglad med, om hun gør ham noget forkert, så længe han får den respekt, han fortjener, når han bringer penge hjem. Franklins version er derimod en erklæring fra en stærk, selvsikker kvinde, som ved, at hun har alt, hvad hendes mand ønsker. Hun gør ham aldrig noget forkert og kræver hans "respekt". Franklins version tilføjer "R-E-S-P-E-C-T"-koret og korsangernes omkvæd "Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me...".
Otis Redding
Respect (song)
"Respect" is a song written and originally released by American recording artist Otis Redding in 1965. The song became a 1967 hit and signature song for R&B singer Aretha Franklin. The music in the two versions is significantly different, and through a few changes in the lyrics, the stories told by the songs have a different flavor. Redding's version is a plea from a desperate man, who will give his woman anything she wants. He won't care if she does him wrong, as long as he gets his due respect when he brings money home. However, Franklin's version is a declaration from a strong, confident woman, who knows that she has everything her man wants. She never does him wrong, and demands his "respect". Franklin's version adds the "R-E-S-P-E-C-T" chorus and the backup singers' refrain of "Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me...".
