Songs is the fourth album by the American psychedelic soul music group Rotary Connection. The album is unlike all the other Rotary Connections albums as it contained all cover songs. The artists covered include: Otis Redding, The Band, Cream (band), Muddy Waters, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Stevie Wonder & The Rolling Stones.

Respect" is a song written and originally released by Stax recording artist Otis Redding in 1965. "Respect" became a 1967 hit and signature song for R&B singer Aretha Franklin. While Redding wrote the song as a man's plea for respect and recognition from a woman, the roles were reversed for Franklin's version.

  • Don't forget about Mr. Sidney Barnes who was a hell of a writer & singer in his own right. As foor Minnie...hell, there was only ONE Minnie Riperton & she had one of the most amazing vocal instruments known to Planet Earth!

  • And the funny thing is it's not even a full cover.  It's just a vamp of it and it's HOT. It's not better than Aretha's version. Applea and oranges. Each one is good for its own purpose.
