Title: Mitch Aliotta Dies at 71
Post by: ByteBORG on July 24, 2015, 1640 UTC

Mitchell A. "Mitch" Aliotta (May 30, 1944 – July 21, 2015) was an American musician, who was involved in the psychedelic soul movement in Chicago, Illinois, United States. Aliotta played bass guitar in Rotary Connection, and later formed the trio Aliotta-Haynes-Jeremiah. He died at the age of 71 in 2015.

Remember "Lake Shore Drive" and the radio commercial for JOB Rolling Papers based on that song?

Shame.  When I hear the name Aliotta, the first thing I think of is Rotary Connection, and not the later trio.  That RC self-titled '67 release was a monster when I was growing up.
