The Free Press had a great documentary video posted on it’s website a few weeks ago about Aretha Franklin’s song Respect, on it’s 40th anniversary.  I forgot to post it then, but I’m sure some of you haven’t seen it yet.  It’s great.  It talks about how Aretha put her spin on Otis Redding’s original version.  Ann Arbor’s the Rationals also did a version.

The power of the song, song musically and lyrically, is what captured listeners then and still now today, speaking not only on the behalf of women, but also African-Americans.

We’ve got both versions in our store.
