Why it is here
- Rolling Stone ranked Aretha Franklin's 1967 recording of "Respect" as the No. 1 song on its 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list, a ranking it reaffirmed in the 2024 update. source
- Rolling Stone stated the song's demands "resonated powerfully with the civil rights movement and emergent feminist revolution," cementing its status as an enduring anthem rather than a recent hit. source
