Incredibly good group. Great material. Well produced.
Music for adventurous listeners "Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn. C'mon y'all." | |

Charles Stepney handled the production, right?
I have to admit, I have minimum knowledge of Rotary Connection's music, aside from the stuff that appeared in "Petals" and other Minnie compilation. | |

yup, arrangement and production, as well as playing piano, electric piano, organ, and harpsicord...." I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

"I Am the Black Gold of The Sun"/ "Black Gold"
Over the years (especially because of remakes from Nuyorican Soul and 4Hero ), this has become sort of the flagship Rotary Connection song. I didn't realize until recently that the piece had its genesis a few years earlier, when Stepney first did the track for Phil Upchurch's early solo album. Ironically (or not), Phil plays on both versions....come to think of it, a number of the same people play on both albums...and you can certainly hear Minnie's high vocals in the background of Phil's version

Dr. Phil gave me a call yesterday. I'll be seeing him this Sunday.

Stepney's Rotary feel is certainly all over this Upchurch cut:
