#50-"Respect"-Aretha Franklin
The song that,more than any other,crowned Aretha Franklin "The Queen of Soul".
This massive hit song was a long time in coming for Franklin who had struggled for years to
find her artistic niche in the music industry.Originally a gospel singer of the highest order;
Franklin got critical respect for her gospel records but commercially they failed break her
into any kind of mainstream success.She and her record label took a chance and she
recorded a more secular album of R & B songs.As soon as "Respect" was released it went
straight to the top of the Pop charts-finally giving Aretha the accolades she deserved.
From that point on Aretha has been known as "The Queen of Soul".
