Aretha Franklin 'Respect' | Care Awards Respect Badge 4

Research the song of Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin's song ‘Respect’ is all about Women Empowerment. Her song is talking about a young, independent woman telling her man that she does things for him but he doesn’t appreciate it. All she asks from him is nothing more than Respect. 

Aretha Franklin's song was a cover of Otis Redding's song ‘Respect’. They had the same meanings in their songs but instead of Otis Redding's asking men for respect he was asking women for Respect.
