‘Paint It Black — The Rolling Stones
In accordance to Billboard, the Rolling Stones’ song “Paint It Black” has climbed to the sixth spot on the Ranker chart. Upon its release, the song became an instant success with the general public when it was originally released in 1966. The song peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 as well as the UK Singles Chart, where it reached the top of the chart for the first time. There have been three instances on which the United States has ranked first, and six occasions on which the United Kingdom has ranked first in the world. It was Bill Wyman’s organ work, says Richards, that contributed significantly to the song’s success.
‘Respect’ — Aretha Franklin
Otis Redding wrote and recorded this song in 1965, and it is one of his best-known works. On the other hand, it is because of Aretha Franklin that the term “Respect” has achieved the level of popularity that it has today. In 2012, two years after the original song was released, she reworked it into a female empowerment anthem, which was released in 2013. She also added the words “R-E-S-P-E-C-T” in the chorus, as well as the lines “Sock it to me, sock it to me, socks it to me…” in the refrain, which made for an even more impressive performance. Her most well-known song features an instantly recognizable melody. The song was nominated for two Grammy Awards in 1968, and she received both.
