Songs is the fourth album by the American psychedelic soul group Rotary Connection issued in May 1969 on Cadet Records.

Covers

[edit]

Rotary Connection covered artists such as Cream, The Band, Otis Redding, Muddy Waters, The Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix on the album.[3] The album is also noted for including a song written for the band by Stevie Wonder, titled "This Town." The song was the very first one written by the then-18-year-old Wonder for a non-Motown artist, and would be performed by him in live concerts.
