Women taking over a man’s work? Say it aint so.

Redding's version is a plea from a desperate man, who will give his woman anything she wants. He won't care if she does him wrong, as long as he gets his due respect when he brings money home.[1] However, Franklin's version is a declaration from a strong, confident woman, who knows that she has everything her man wants. She never does him wrong, and demands his "respect".[2] Franklin's version adds the "R-E-S-P-E-C-T" chorus and the backup singers' refrain of "Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me..."

I always thought the lyrics on that song were really weird for a woman in 1967.

I am dead inside. I used to listen to that on record as a kid and I completely gave Franklin credit for all of that. Damn.
