    Popular Music (2014) Volume 33/2. © Cambridge University Press 2014, pp. 185–207 doi:10.1017/S0261143014000270 ‘Find out what it means to me’: Aretha Franklin’s gendered re-authoring of Otis Redding’s ‘Respect’ VICTORIA MALAWEY Music Department, Macalester College, 1600 Grand Avenue, Saint Paul, MN 55105, USA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In her re-authoring of Otis Redding’s ‘Respect’, Aretha Franklin’s seminal 1967 recording features striking changes to melodic content, vocal delivery, lyrics and form. Musical analysis and transcription reveal Franklin’s re-authoring techniques, which relate to rhetorical strategies of motivated rewriting, talking texts and call-and-response introduced by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. The extent of her re-authoring grants her status as owner of the song and results in a new sonic experience that can be clearly related to the cultural work the song has performed over the past 45 years. Multiple social movements claimed Franklin’s ‘Respect’ as their anthem, and her version more generally functioned as a song of empower- ment for those who have been marginalised, resulting in the song’s complex relationship with feminism. Franklin’s ‘Respect’ speaks dialogically with Redding’s version as an answer song that gives agency to a female perspective speaking within the language of soul music, which appealed to many audiences. Introduction Although Otis Redding wrote and recorded ‘Respect’ in 1965, Aretha Franklin stakes a claim of ownership by re-authoring the song in her famous 1967 recording. Her version features striking changes to the melodic content, vocal delivery, lyrics and form.

  • Aretha Franklin: Soul Music and the New Femininity of the 1960S Overview
    ARETHA FRANKLIN: SOUL MUSIC AND THE NEW FEMININITY OF THE 1960S OVERVIEW ESSENTIAL QUESTION How did Aretha Franklin represent a new female voice in 1960s popular music? OVERVIEW When Aretha Franklin belted out, “What you want, baby I’ve got it,” in her 1967 recording of Otis Redding’s song “Respect,” millions of listeners could not help but agree. She had it. With a voice unadorned yet undeniably powerful, she quickly rose up the Pop charts. For many listeners, it may have been the first time they had heard of Aretha Franklin. However, when the album on which “Respect” was included, I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You, was released on Atlantic Records, it was certainly not her first recording project. She was a veteran artist who had released more than ten studio albums prior to that point. Aretha had been a Gospel ingénue as a young child, recording her first album at the age of fourteen. When “Respect” was released in 1967, she was coming out of a five-year recording contract with Columbia Records where she had released a string albums that revolved around a jazz-pop style. But there was a new energy to her Atlantic debut, backed by the famous Muscle Shoals rhythm section, “The Swampers.” The recordings made more of her Gospel heritage, blending those roots with an R&B feel that resulted in the 1960s Soul sound that we have come to know. When “Respect” reached Number 1 on both the R&B and Pop charts, and Aretha garnered her first two Grammy Awards, it was clear the “Queen of Soul” had arrived.

  • Message from the Director-General on the Occasion of World Day For
    Message from Ms Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO, on the occasion of World Day for Audiovisual Heritage 27 October 2018 Audiovisual heritage is a significant part of our cultural heritage. Images and sounds, recorded on film, videotape and audiotape, bring our past to life and establish in our collective memory events, scenes and situations that, without these media, would fade from our memories or only subsist in a motionless, disembodied form. Audiovisual heritage is an invaluable source of knowledge and animated testimony of our social, cultural and linguistic diversity. This memory, which has remained alive and is essential to historians, scientists and ordinary citizens seeking knowledge of their past, is nonetheless fragile. It is threatened by the obsolescence of technology and analogue media and by the lack of attention often paid to it. It is also particularly threatened in some socio-political contexts. That is why UNESCO launched this World Day, in order to raise public awareness of the need to safeguard audiovisual heritage, support institutions entrusted with such heritage and promote greater access to archives. UNESCO also encourages the digitization of documentary archives and has itself incorporated many audiovisual resources in its Memory of the World Register – from recordings of the concerts of Aretha Franklin and Lionel Hampton at the Montreux Jazz Festival to exceptional documentaries made in the 1950s on the Ju’hoansi tribe in the Kalahari Desert (Namibia) and the archives of the Bandung Conference of 1955 (Indonesia). This year, the World Day, organized in partnership with the Coordinating Council of Audiovisual Archives Associations, focuses on the theme: “Your Story is Moving”.
