...1. Diana Ross 2. Janet Jackson 3. Tina Turner 4. Aretha Franklin Otis Redding wrote "Respect" in 1965. The song became his biggest cross over hit, second only to "I've Been Loving You Too Long". Franklin's producer, Jerry Wexler, brought the song to Franklin's attention. In 1967, Franklin, who is known as the "Queen of Soul", recorded and released her version of "Respect", which features Carolyn and Erma, her sisters, singing backup. The recording became an immediate hit. Appropriately enough, Redding himself had a profound respect for Aretha as result of her recording of his song. Rolling Stone magazine ranked "Respect" as the Song five on their "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
