Many years ago the women in\u00a0my family\u00a0 performed a skit for a special occasion…a tradition .\u00a0 \u00a0We had trouble deciding on what kind of skit to do.\u00a0 Then,\u00a0 coming across my car radio was that glorious\u00a0 voice singing,
\nR-E-S-P-E-C-T.\u00a0 \u00a0I screamed out, to no one in particular\u00a0 because I was alone in the car, “That’s it, that’s our song!”<\/p>\n
And indeed it was.\u00a0 We wowed the crowd as we lip synced\u00a0 and danced, dressed in\u00a0 tuxedo t-shirts, top hats and canes\u00a0 to that amazing\u00a0 voice. It was a huge\u00a0 hit and we had such a ball doing it.<\/p>\n
Thank you Aretha for your voice, your music, your activism and your generosity.<\/p>\n
We love you…. The Oliver Girls (the performing women – a family name)<\/p>\n

\n“I was talking about the male-female relationship. The respect part of it became a mantra for the Civil Rights Movement and for people everywhere,” Franklin said.”<\/p>\n
