Respect

Exactly.

So what did you sing? So I sang Respect by my dear mother of soul, Queen Aretha yeah and so what did they say what were the what were the comments well what I remember is Kelly was super super supportive from the very jump Gary was supportive so they liked it they complimented the confident but then there was like a remark somebody said that and you know it you know that was good as well and I was like if you knew what was going on inside my head I even feel like the beginning was shaky and my voice was flat at this point.

So I'm already critiquing it.

So whilst it looks like I think it's amazing to you, I'm like my worst critic.

Listen, my mother exposed me also to Roberta Flack.

My mother taught me Aretha Franklin's Respect, 1967, was not simple a civil rights anthem.

It also became an anthem of the women's liberation movement, which as you know, started in 1967.

So I want you to see that Black music isn't just for Black people and Black music has meaning for more than Black people.

Aretha Franklin's Respect becomes an anthem, not simply for the civil rights movement, but everybody knows it became one of the first great anthems of the women's liberation movement of the 1960s.

I'm dropping mics, but I got to pick it up.

You know what I mean? And then we come to a more contemporary anthem, Kendrick Lamar's All Right.

Finish this famous line.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

What comes after that? I'm sorry.

I was talking.

Question number two.

Finish this famous line.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

Find out what it means to me?

The Muscle Shoals sound is very like country roots music Americana.

They produced like Aretha Franklin recorded Respect up there at Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals.

So it's like this... little spot in Alabama that is just like rife with musical magic and history.

And so my character goes up there to look for this iconic producer to produce her first album.

Surprisingly, it should probably be in the top 20.

Number two, Respect by Aretha Franklin.

Number one, Like a Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan.

So...

It's a tough one.

But I really like what's going on.

Number three this week is Respect by Aretha Franklin.

Number three last week was Smells Like Teen Spirit.

So anyway, Sam Laporta, the Lions tight end, he publicly blasted the Detroit football team for failing to offer him a contract extension.

He played the, this is a day to reference, there's a classic Aretha Franklin song, Respect.

And he played the respect card from the bottom of the deck.

Sam Laporta, a lack of respect.
