Please Read Description

Respect was originally recorded by Otis Redding in 1965, and seemed to be a perfect song for a man to sing to his woman when she's withholding her TLC. However Aretha Franklin made it a hit in 1967 when release her version and all the airwaves stopped to listen to one of the first musical voices of an independent woman becoming a signature sound for the female (or feminist) R&B singer. I personally think both version are perfectly done and both need to be listened to and given their due respect.

I'm proud to be a man and a husband and a father, so I decided to sing this one to remind people that a man sang it first! {;-) Just teasing. We all want respect; man, woman or child, so its a great song for everyone to enjoy.

This one also includes my wife Ahshatén on Viola. I hope you enjoy listening to it, as we enjoyed performing it. Thanks.

  • love the gravel in your voice! very cool.

  • @katiequintonsings Never heard anyone describe my voice like that, but if you weren't spot on with that description it would probably sound offensive. Thanks for the sweet comment though. I appreciate it.

  • wow.. sounds amazing.. really like the way you're singing.. and the violin in the background is really doing it
