Respect

Respect (1967): the song Otis Redding wrote as a plea that Aretha Franklin rebuilt into a demand.

Redding cut it in 1965, a tired man asking to be respected at home. Franklin sat with her sister Carolyn, added four spelled-out letters, and flipped who was asking whom. One February session in New York, and two movements found their song.

What's the first record you'd play to explain 1967 to someone who wasn't there?
