The Detroit Free Press celebrates the 40th anniversary of one of the greatest pop songs of my lifetime: Aretha Franklin's version of "Respect".
UPDATE: Link is now fixed. I apologize to those of you who wasted your time clicking on the wrong link. The head of quality control at the Door has been fired and other changes will be made as necessary.
"That young lady didn't need a microphone."
"She was chosen--from birth--to sing."
That link goes to yesterday's Triumph the Insult Dog video. Not all that much in common with Aretha.

Aretha and her famous song = very over rated. She is just loud and I hate loud screaming women.
I am also sick of hearing it ad infinitum.
Been listening to a lot of blues lately, B.B. of course, and Bobby Bland, Ron Thompson, and Irma Thomas. Good stuff, and not overplayed
