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