Texas International Pop Festival, Dallas International Motor Speedway, Lewisville, TX, 8-30-1969, Part 3: Rotary Connection

by Mistah Wilson -
Here's the third album from the first day of the 1969 Texas International Pop Festival. As is typical of this festival, I don't know the exact order of the acts, so I'm making an educated guess. This is a set of the band Rotary Connection.

Rotary Connection was an American psychedelic soul band that existed from 1966 to 1973. They had some critical acclaim, but they never had any hit singles or big selling albums. In retrospect, probably the best known thing about this band is that Minnie Riperton was one of its two lead singers. She had a Number One single in the U.S. in 1974 with the song "Lovin' You," then died of cancer at a young age in 1979. 

Riperton was known for her voice, which had a truly incredible five-octave range. The band's other main lead singer, Sidney Barnes, had a good soulful voice as well. However, they didn't do a lot of original material. Their two studio albums released prior to this concert consisted entirely of cover versions, and their set here mostly consisted of covers. The concert was probably the pinnacle of their career, and the largest crowd they played for, by far. 

This recording is from an excellent soundboard source. That's a lucky thing, because no official live album was ever released by them, and this seems to be their one and only bootleg recording.

Here's their Wikipedia entry:

The cover image is from this exact concert. I was only able to find this one black and white photo, so I colorized it using the Kolorize program. Then I improved it with the use of the Photoshop and Krea AI programs.
