Give Me Some Respect

It's time to get down with the First Lady of American Soul!

Respect by Aretha Franklin (http://youtu.be/6FOUqQt3Kg0)

This ballad of a strong, confident woman was released in 1965 and became Aretha's hit song in 1967. It earned her two Grammy awards in 1968 and is also now listed as number five on the Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

Go on now, show this woman some of that R-E-S-P-E-C-T!

Here's a video of Aretha Franklin performing the song, but FYI, the sound quality is kind of poor: (http://youtu.be/cSdFTVhFyyc)
