Forty years ago this month a young lady from Detroit by the name of Aretha Franklin took this jammin' classic all the way to #1. To this day it remains near the top of many music critics "best of" lists.
Fun Fact: Not many people know this, but Ms. Franklin's 1967 version of the song is a remake of an Otis Redding original (which managed to reach #35 in 1965).
