Whilst she did indeed do a lot for the Civil Rights movement I think her version of Respect is more to do with the woman movement.

Thanks to the wonderful one inch type C tape although we have lost ( in body but surely not soul ) this wonderful person her musical performances will be always with us. A very high bar for the youngsters.

What made Arethra extra special is that she was one of the driving forces of the Civil Rights movements led by Martin Luther King. Her kit R.E.S.P.E.C.T.! was rooted in the movement.

She provided significant finance to and was the driving force in moving the locus of the movement from the South to Chicago. Not only talented but generous and brave.

A beautiful lady and an absolute legend.

So I say.........

Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me.

All of us and especially those born around mid century are today less than we were.
