Stevie Wonder : "This Town" ('69) after checking out ecrinp's threads on rare Stevie Wonder, I thought this info from a Stevie site was kinda cool..(and also 'cause I'm a big Rotary Connection fan)...
Song title: This Town Artist: Rotary Connection Composer: Stevie Wonder Originally released on: Songs - Cadet 322 Release date: 1969 Currently available on CD: Rotary Connection: Songs/Hey Love - Ace CDBGPD115 (UK release) 'This Town' was the first song Stevie wrote for a non-Motown act. The tune was created in the summer of 1968, during the making of Stevie's For Once In My Life album. 'This Town' also marked his first partnership with Rotary Connection member Minnie Riperton, who was to become an important collaborator in the following decade. However, although Riperton's otherwordly soprano voice is prominent on 'This Town', the lead vocals are handled by Sidney Barnes. In 1986 Stevie performed This Town' during his In Square Circle tour of the United States. There was also talk of including the song in a musical he was working on at the time. However, the musical - reportedly about the city of New York - was never completed.
