Artist:Tower Of Power
Song:Back On The Streets Again
Album:What Is Hip?:The Tower Of Power Anthology
Jazz/rock horn bands were very popular in the late 60s but San Francisco's Tower Of Power probably had the best horn sound. They were popular with other musicians and would turn up on plenty of sessions. The group was led by tenor saxman Emilio Castillo, baritone saxman Stephen Kupka & trumpeter Greg Adams and added singer Lenny Williams for their big hit You're Still A Young Man. Castillo & Kupka wrote most of the songs including Back On The Streets Again from their first record East Bay Grease. What Is Hip? is a 2CD comp from Rhino and is the one to get if you like funk and you want to get into these guys. Tower Of Power continued to record into the 80s & 90s but you're best to stick with their 70s Warner Bros. recordings.
