Stevie Wonder's song for Rotary Connection - "This Town" ...
Stevie was an early fan of this group and Minnie Riperton. He composed this track for their "Songs" album in 1969. By the way, that high-pitched melody in the background ain't a Theremin - it's Minnie at the top of her otherwordly, unbelievevable five and ahalf octave range--That shit is Whistle register,  !!!!!.
Lead Vocal - Sidney Barnes Background vocals - Minnie Riperton Organ, String Arrangements, conductor - Charles Stepney ... [Edited 5/8/09 11:25am] " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

Beautiful tune! This serves as my reminder to pull out the What Color Is Love album by Terry Callier. I'm trying to listen to as much Charles Stepney as I can. His orchestrations were really gorgeous.
