Sidney is a wonderful, wonderful talent...this is nice, but my favorite stuff by him is w/Minnie Riperton while they were a part of the Charles Stephney's GEM the Rotary Connection. Thanks for the post Ian

In 1970, I was turned on to Rotary Connection at my birthday party (in which Richie Havens just happen to attend) and I've been a a Sydney, Minnie, and RC ever since! Cover tunes or not during the late 60s, Charles Stepney did a masterful job of bringing the acid rock vocals into the forefront of music at that time. Gettin' stoned, Yago, hashish, and college! Whatta combo for RC and college!

Quality with a big Q Brilliant to see these guys,excellent dance tune can still feel the magic vibrating round the dance halls of the 70s/80s when obscurity prevailed

[jacqui4elvis]

Sidney, Thanks for allowing The BlackNote to have you as a guest on the show. It was a pleasure to have a true musician that has accually helped pave the road. God Bless. The show should be ready soon!!!

Is there any existing video footage of The Rotary Connection out there?

[Karmu2]

This and your other posts are WONDERFUL!!! Here's a partial list of still-living artists - soul treasures all, who ought to be recorded while they are still alive, and, most important, still in wonderful voice:

Mitty Collier (living in Chicago), Dorothy Moore, Derek Martin (living in France - see his MySpace page to make contact) and, currently touring, Barbara ("If you should lose me") Lynn.

[IanLevine]

I did a great remake of "You're Losing Me" with Barbara Lynn and I'll put up the video soon.

[Karmu2]

I can't wait! I LOVE her latter-day minor hit "Until Then I'll Suffer"

[pcwino]

You people must be kidding me. You're living in the past. In the old days Sidney was writing copycat songs for a paycheck. Now he's making brand new original tunes on his own terms. The art is happening TODAY, everything else was just a buildup. CHECK IT OUT!

[IanLevine]

Well seeing as how "Standing On Solid Ground" was written this decade, then Sidney certainly still holds his place in Northern Soul. But althought I wrote that song with him, I sadly don't have a video of it.

[pcwino]

Yes, I understand what you are saying but my point is that Sidney has a whole new style and the cats in Europe are missing out.

[IanLevine]

And the relevance of your comments to the Northern Soul videos that I'm personally posting up here is absolutely ZERO.
