A little bit about 'Respect'.  Aretha's impact seems to me to be misunderstood and I am too young to have been there when she was really blazing the trail.  Certainly the handful of songs she has put into our conscious are amazingly performed, and her persona is iconoclastic but I don't feel I know her.
