Wear the Aretha Franklin T-Shirt: Respect in black soft-style cotton — officially licensed Aretha Franklin merchandise stamped with the R-E-S-P-E-C-T wordmark that defined her 1967 breakthrough.

Otis Redding wrote and cut Respect in 1965. Aretha reworked it in 1967 for I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You, added the R-E-S-P-E-C-T spellout plus the "sock it to me" refrain, and made it her own. A Grammy for Best Rhythm and Blues Recording followed the same year.

The design carries the RESPECT title across the chest in bold display type on a plain black tee. Soft-style cotton, unisex short-sleeve cut, front print. Sits neatly under a jacket for a gig, works just as well as everyday listening kit for anyone raised on Atlantic-era soul.
