Does Rotary Connection mean something? The innertubes won’t tell me. Is it about phones—rotary dials were still big in 1969. In 1966 the Rolling Stones did a song titled Connection on the record Between the Buttons—I think I should be able to connect the dots, but I got nothing.
Minnie Riperton was great, the band on the record was very good. What were the folks at Chess/Cadet thinking when they were producing this? I don’t think Respect needed another cover version in 1969. It was the band’s fourth album, so they must have sold some. There’s a lot of the ‘60s that is hard to explain.
