... releases her 10th album on March 10, 1967. It's her commercial break-out album. It's regarded as one of the greatest albums ever, it is ranked #13 on Rolling Stone’s "500 Greatest Albums of All Time."  The album opens with "Respect," an Otis Redding cover that became Franklin's signature song and a global #1 hit.  #arethafranklin #thequeenofsoul #ineverlovedamanthewayIloveyou #60smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #rnb #soul #southernsoul
