Reception

The Seven Nights To Rock EP brought the Connection to the attention of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Steven Van Zandt,[1] founder of the Sirius XM radio station "Little Steven's Underground Garage" and original member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. Also known as the character Silvio Dante from The Sopranos, Van Zandt became a prominent supporter of the group.[2] In the next 13 months, Underground Garage named four Connection songs 'The Coolest Song in the World,' and selected two other Connection originals to put into heavy rotation,[4] including the Seven Nights To Rock EP track, "I Think She Digs Me."[3]
