Understanding Aretha Franklin's "Respect"

In the history of popular music, there have been few voices as powerful or as memorable as Aretha Franklin's. The music world lost a true legend last month, and I wanted to pay tribute to the Queen of Soul by analyzing one of her most famous and enduring songs, Respect. It's a rousing anthem that feels like it goes on much longer than its two and a half minute run-time, and despite (or perhaps because of) its fairly simple harmony, it remains iconic to this day.
