Well, at our choir concert two weekends ago, we arranged and sang impromptu Respect as an encore. We ended stepping out & walking among audience and clapping and encouraging audience to join in. Thanks to it, we've been hailed as one of the best choirs of the evening. That's all we could do.
However, it's worth looking back and remembering the whole Franklin family, including Carolyn & Erma. For example Erma had the same powerful yet emotional voice. Check out this recording from 1969:
Of course you know Jackie Wilson's original. But don't you agree with me that Erma's version hereabove is actually better? Sadly this recording is not perfect: percussion/bass guitar and the background choir are too loud but Erma's voice still comes through. I wonder what Jackie himself thought about it, it was just 2 years after his original.
