  • The United States Of America used something called a ring modulator.

  • @MultiVideohelp When I saw them live, they used a Theremin for the 'whining'.

  • @donnaslater2011

    WOW ! Here's the kick ass memories. I saw them as an 'a list' band at the Electric Theatre in Chicago in June or so in 1968. Then, I saw Iron Butterfly as the lead in act for Jefferson Airplane at the same place, in August of 1968. I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. I also caught Iron Butterfly at the Broken Spoke in Sturgis SD in 94 or 95.

  • This group actually played at my high school in the 60s for some dance. Everyone from school showed up. It was unbelievable, and I still don't know how they ever got booked for a gig into an all male Catholic high school on Chicago's South side, but they did, and we all went to see -- A great memory!

  • @MultiVideohelp My father saw them live at the grand ballroom in Detroit back in the day. That whining was Minnie. He said everyone scoffed at them for playing a Rolling Stones cover, but when she started to sing wildly into the microphone like that...everyone shut up. It blew them all away!

  • I thought it was Judy Hauff singing the lead here. By the way, that "whining" comes from an electric sitar, not Minnie.

  • I had the pleasure of seeing Rotary Connection, the summer of 1970 at a outdoor venue in Alton Illinois. "ARCS" Alton Parks & Recreational Center. I was familiar with their music having listened to them from 11pm to 2am on Beaker Street, KAAY Little Rock AR on the long journey home to Carrollton Illinois. They performed Lady Jane & Ruby Tuesday. There has never been anyone before or since like Minnie Riperton. Listen to the songs, & imagine a band doing it live. i later caught them at Haymakers

  • This stuff is late sixties pop-psychedelia from a mostly black group featuring the whining mult-octave voice of Minnie Riperton, who here sounds (ay her best) like a Mixmaster gone berserk.

  • My father had this album and absolutely loved it. It was definitely the most obscure record in his collection, which was mostly mainstream pop stuff like The Turtles, Spanky & Our Gang, Beatles, etc.  I'm guessing he came across the Rotary Connection to exposure to "Ruby Tuesday" on Cleveland radio.

  • Great song, obviously, just liked the idea that the only two post were both from people from Sarasota
