    Aretha Franklin's "Respect" is the most empowering popular song ever. Could we have shown her more? Just a little bit, our critic writes.https://nyti.ms/2Pi52H1

        Can we have a little bit of love for the late great Otis Redding? After all, he wrote it (and recorded it 2 years earlier). Of course, when Otis heard it, he good-naturedly said, "Aretha just stole my song!" He LOVED her cover version.

        We um...deemed her 'The Queen of Soul'. This is sort of like Libs keeping that plaque up that claims Lincoln was a Demoncrat. Lunacy!

        Is there a point in writing this now that she’s passed? Maybe you could’ve thought of it while she was still here, jackass.

        She is/was universally considered the queen of soul. How much more respect can you give her? This article is blatant pandering.

        Aretha Franklin was truly the “Queen of Soul.” Her voice was amazing. She is a legend who left behind great songs. Aretha will always be loved and respected.
