Respect (song)
"Respect" is a song by American soul singer-songwriter Otis Redding, and later rearranged by Aretha Franklin to become her breakout hit. It was released in 1965 as a single from Redding's third album '' Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul'' and became a crossover hit for Redding. In 1967, Franklin (the "Queen of Soul") rearranged, rephrased, and covered "Respect", resulting in one of her biggest hits and her signature song. The music in the two versions is significantly different, while a few changes in the lyrics resulted in different narratives around the theme of human dignity that have been interpreted as commentaries on gender roles, relationships and "respect". Franklin's interpretation became a feminist anthem for the second-wave feminism movement in the 1970s. It has often been considered one of the best R&B songs of its era, earning Franklin two Grammy Awards in 1968 for "Best Rhythm & Blues Recording" and "Best Rhythm & Blues Solo Vocal Performance, Female", and bei ...

Brown Eyed Girl
"Brown Eyed Girl" is a song by Northern Irish singer and songwriter Van Morrison. Written by Morrison and recorded in March 1967, it was released as a single in June of the same year on the Bang label, peaking at No. 10 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. The song spent a total of sixteen weeks on the chart. It featured the Sweet Inspirations singing back-up vocals and is considered to be Van Morrison's signature song. Recording and title After finishing his contract with Decca Records and the mid-1966 break-up of his band, Them, Morrison returned to Belfast seeking a new recording company. When he received a phone call from Bert Berns, owner of Bang Records, who had produced a number of recordings with Them, he flew to New York City and hastily signed a contract (which biographer Clinton Heylin says probably still gives him sleepless nights). During a two-day recording session starting 28 March 1967, he recorded eight songs intended to be used as four singles. The recording sessi ...

Boat Drinks (song)
"Boat Drinks" is a song written and performed by American singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett. It was released as a B-side (b/w "Survive") on MCA in 1979.

Despite its popularity, the song was notably absent from '' Meet Me in Margaritaville: The Ultimate Collection''. A commercial for ''Play FLA USA'' scratch-off game was noted to sound like an instrumental version of "Boat Drinks", which Buffett had not given permission for any musical licensing to the Florida Lottery. Communications specialist Kathy Wilson and a Buffett spokeswoman both later confirmed that the two songs may have sounded similar due to their "fun-in-the-sun-type" styles, but they were technically greatly different from one another.

Son Of A Son Of A Sailor (song)
A son is a male offspring; a boy or a man in relation to his parents. The female counterpart is a daughter. From a biological perspective, a son constitutes a first degree relative.

In China, a one-child policy was in effect until 2015 in order to address rapid population growth. Official birth records showed a rise in the level of male births since the policy was brought into law.
