a little respect

I never have liked the Aretha Franklin version of this song, I have always found it kind of frustrating. The last person that I want to give respect to is someone shoving it down my throat, and that's how her delivery of the song hits me. I am aware that it wouldn't be the ultra-popular song that it is today however if the mobs of karaoke crazy people belting this song out didn't disagree with me. So someone obviously is okay with Franklin's version, but for me I prefer the Otis Redding original, sung in a fashion that I can actually believe it's respect he's after.

Otis Redding - Respect
