"Respect" was released on this day in 1967 and hit # 1 by mid-June.
Over time, "Respect" became one of the most popular records of the 1960s and a frequent addition to movie soundtracks.
The story of "Respect" is rather interesting. It was ranked # 5 in Rolling Stone's Top 500 all time songs.
"Respect" was written by Otis Redding, another one of my favorite performers.
