Respect - Aretha Franklin powerfully changes a song from he to she.

This edition of Hit Story is all about a song that was written by a man for a man to sing… but when a 25-year-old young woman named Aretha Franklin decided to sing it her way she changed the song into an anthem for women everywhere. This is the Hit Story of Respect.
