In fact credits belong to Earl 'Speedo' Simms from The Premiers, who became Otis' road manager. He knew Respect from earlier formations, but never cut his own version. Instead, Otis adapted it for himself and lived to see how Aretha single-handedly changed it again (with a little help from Sam & Dave's When Something Is Wrong With My Baby).
