In 2005, Senegalese rapper Akon covered this single for Lonely and it was featured on his album Trouble. This song uses a sped-up sample of the earlier song.
Who the hell is Akon?

Akon is a rapper I think (or hip-hopper or thug or whatever they like to be called...)
Whenever you see "sampled" in new music it means it's some hip-hopper / rapper / thug / criminal once again not able to create their own music.

Yeah, I searched it in youtube. Can't these new guys create their own music?
I lasted 3 seconds on that video.

No! They can't write their own music! So they steal music from others artists. Considering it is hip hop and gangsta rap, it does seem appropriate!

Oh, that Aretha!
1967 - Respect - Aretha Franklin
Spoiler:
Respect (song) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Respect" is a 1967 hit and the signature song of the R&B singer Aretha Franklin, written and originally released by Volt recording artist Otis Redding in 1965. While Redding wrote the song as a man's plea for respect and recognition from a woman, the roles were reversed for Franklin's version. Aretha Franklin's cover was a landmark for the feminist movement, and is often considered as one of the best songs of the Rock & Roll era. It is number five on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[1]
Origins Otis Redding wrote and recorded "Respect" as a blues tune in the studio while finishing his third album, Otis Blue. The album became widely successful, even outside of his largely R&B and blues fanbase. When released in the summer of 1965, the song reached the top five on Billboard's Black Singles Chart. The song even crossed over to pop radio's white audience, peaking at number thirty-five there. At the time, the song became Redding's second largest crossover hit (after "I've Been Loving You Too Long") and paved the way to future presence at American radio. Making of a hit
Producer Jerry Wexler had come across Redding's song and brought it to Franklin's attention. While Redding's version was popular among his core R&B audience, Wexler thought the song had potential to be a crossover hit and demonstrate Franklin's vocal ability. Together with Aretha's sisters, Carolyn and Erma, singing backup "Respect" was recorded on Valentine's Day of 1967.
During the recording process, a bridge was added to Redding's original composition. Another addition was King Curtis' tenor saxophone and the slicker production of Wexler and co-producer Arif Mardin. The resulting song was featured on Franklin's Atlantic Records debut album, I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You. As the title track became a hit at both R&B and pop radio, Atlantic Records arranged for the release of the "Respect."
Franklin's rendition found even greater success than the original, spending two weeks atop the Billboard Pop Singles chart, and for eight weeks on the Billboard Black Singles chart. It also became a hit internationally, reaching number ten in the United Kingdom, and helping to transform Franklin from a domestic star into an international one. Even Otis Redding himself was impressed with the performance of the song, and at the Monterey Pop Festival in the summer of the cover's release, he was quoted playfully describing "Respect" as "a song a girl took away from me".
What did she say?
Franklin's version of the song contains the famous lines (as printed in the lyrics included in the 1985 compilation album Atlantic Soul Classics):
R-E-S-P-E-C-T Find out what it means to me R-E-S-P-E-C-T Take care ... TCB
The last line is often misquoted as "Take out, TCP", or something similar, and indeed most published music sheets which include the lyrics have this incorrect line in them. The confusion seems to have arisen from the fact that the entire sequence was an ad-lib by Franklin, not present in Redding's original song.[2] Thus, for that sequence, there were no official written lyrics to quote, and those transcribing the lyrics would have had to take their "best guess" as to the words being sung.
"TCB" is an abbreviation that was commonly used in the 1960s and 1970s, meaning "Taking Care of Business", and it was particularly widely used in African-American culture.[3] However, it was somewhat less well-known outside of that culture[4], yielding a possible explanation as to why it was not recognized by those who transcribed Franklin's words for music sheets.
She stole it!

If I remember correctly, bobrob said this is one of his favorite songs (although it'd be a distant second behind McLean's "American Pie" 8) ). He'd be happy to know I downloaded this...
I don't know why it took me a month to reply to this... So, do you still have this song on your Ipod?

1969 - My Way - Paul Anka
wiki wrote:
Paul Anka heard the original 1967 French pop song while on holiday in Paris. In a 2007 interview, he said: "I thought it was a shitty record, but there was something in it."[1] He acquired publishing rights and, two years later, had a dinner in Florida with Frank Sinatra and "a couple of Mob guys" at which Sinatra said he was "quitting the business. I'm sick of it, I'm getting the hell out". [1]
Back in New York, Anka re-wrote the original French song for Sinatra, subtly altering the melodic structure and changing the lyrics: "At one o'clock in the morning, I sat down at an old IBM electric typewriter and said, 'If Frank were writing this, what would he say?' And I started, metaphorically, 'And now the end is near.' I read a lot of periodicals, and I noticed everything was 'my this' and 'my that'. We were in the 'me generation' and Frank became the guy for me to use to say that. I used words I would never use: 'I ate it up and spit it out.' But that's the way he talked. I used to be around steam rooms with the Rat Pack guys - they liked to talk like Mob guys, even though they would have been scared of their own shadows." Anka finished the song at 5am. "I called Frank up in Nevada - he was at Caesar's Palace - and said, 'I've got something really special for you.'?"[1] Anka claimed: "When my record company caught wind of it, they were very pissed that I didn't keep it for myself. I said, 'Hey, I can write it, but I'm not the guy to sing it.' It was for Frank, no one else."[1]

Nah, the Beatles aren't that bad. Did you see the German Beatles songs I posted earlier?
