How did Aretha Franklin make a difference in the world?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

While Whitney Houston's fans love her and miss her even now, it is not clear that she changed the world. She was a popular entertainer and actress who, sadly, battled addiction and died too young. She had a number of hit records (including one song, "I Will Always Love You," that was #1 for 13 weeks); she won Grammy awards, starred in several movies, and was widely respected in pop music for her amazing voice. But it is not accurate to say she changed the world-- rather, her success and her fame seems to have changed her, leading to drug and alcohol abuse and a tragic death.

What is the meaning to the song Respect by Aretha Franklin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

She is saying "If you treat me right, I'll treat you right." That's a good definition of respect.Her point was simple. Respect her and she will respect you. Treat people how you want to be treated. Basically she's saying that "As long as you do right by me I'll make you a happy man." treat any one who you mee with even more respect than they give you. it proves that you are the better man.

When Aretha Franklin covered this Otis Redding song, she put a bit of a sexual spin to it. "What you want, baby I got it." Phrases such as "Sock it to me" and "Whip it to me" had sexual connotations in the 60's. She sang the song as a woman who goes out and works all day to support her man and she expects a little "attention" when she comes home. So "Respect" can be anything the singer expects in return as part of a relationship.MP

What is aretha Franklin breast size?

Asked by Wiki User

Aretha's legendary artistic genius was nearly matched by her iconic love for eccentricty in fashion. And as everchanging and evolving as her fashion choices were throughout the years, so was her bust size, which fluctuated quite regularly alongside her weight. As a naturally buxom and curvy woman, Aretha's bra size varied from a modest 34 C during her early 20's to a more than generous 46G at her heaviest. Her most common bra size, however, also coincided with her most common dress size of a 14, which was a 44F. This was also the most common size bra she wore during most of the final ten years of her life until her last year when she dropped a tremendous amount of weight and weighed only 85 lbs. Her bra and dress size that final year is not known to me, unfortunately.
