Performance tip
Make the spelling section clear and rhythmic so the crowd can answer each letter. Keep the verses direct, then leave room for the repeated “sock it to me” response.
Should you sing it?
Try “Respect” when you feel ready to carry the song from start to finish. The performance is easier to believe when confidence and momentum matter more than perfect singing. Save it for another night if you have not practiced the hardest section.
